WHAT’S UP NEXT?

Held on the last Thursday of the month at The Sun Inn by the pond in Barnes. We choose our books 3 months at a time, at the next meeting we’ll be chatting about The Wych Elm by Tana French for the November meeting. Email Barnes WI  to go on the mailing list so you will receive updates on the books on the reading list for the next 3 months

Contact Barnes WI for info’ on the next meeting.

Winchester Cathedral’s Christmas Market is recognised as one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe because of its unique location, high quality exhibitors and bustling atmosphere. Wonderful Christmas gifts, decorations and festive foods can be found in abundance, with a delightful Food Court, British Crafts Village, and over 100 chalets to explore. Travel by train from Clapham Junction in just over an hour. Details to be confirmed when we know how many people might be interested. To reserve please email Sarah Hughes at [email protected]

Victoria has taken the lead on this one and negotiated a really good deal at Cote on Barnes Green.  We’ll be in the Conservatory area and the price will be £27 for a 3 course meal and a glass of wine (you’ll need to pay for coffee and any extra drinks) which is even better value than last year!!

To reserve a place you need to transfer your payment to the Barnes Wi bank account – details below – please use Xmas/your name as the ref and email Victoria here to say you’ve booked.  Alternatively please bring cash to the next meeting and liaise with Liz and Victoria.

Not only will this be held at a different venue** but there’s a different feel to tonight!  Because the wonderful Silver Swans – part of the Royal Ballet School and featured in this month’s edition of Times & Leisure  – are coming along to show us the difference between a Plie and a Jete and maybe even a Pirouette.

Working to a Christmas theme this will be an interactive evening for those who want/can or purely observatory for those you don’t.  Either way be prepared and make sure – even if you are only going to watch the rest of us be silly – you dig out the Tutu’s and wings … tiara optional!

** The Christmas Meeting will be held at Barnes Green Day Centre, next to the Pond and will include festive nibbles and drinks! 7.30 start?
