Holiday Gift-Making at Pottery Cafe - Thursday 19 November 7:30pm - 10pm
We will be spending the evening of 19 November painting pottery at the Pottery Cafe in Fulham. Choose from the menu of handmade pottery, select your paints and sponges, and have a go! If you aren't comfortable decorating freehand, don't worry - they have their own unique range of decorating sponges that are very easy to use. You will be amazed how professional your finished item looks - perfect for personalised gift-giving.
There is a £5.95 studio fee (per person, per session - NOT per item) to cover all materials plus glazing and firing of your decorated items, which are charged separately. A list of available pottery can be found on the website: http://www.pottery-cafe.com/index.html.
It’s still not too late to add your name to the list! To book your place, please email us with your contact details, quoting ‘Pottery Café’ in the subject line.
Reclaim The Night - Saturday 21 November from 6pm
As part of the NFWI's 'End Violence Against Women' campaign members have been invited to join other organisations working for women and to end violence on a march to demand justice for rape survivors.
According to the Reclaim the Night website: The British Crime Survey (2001) found that there are an estimated 47,000 rapes every year, around 40,000 attempted rapes and over 300,000 sexual assaults. Yet our conviction rate is the lowest it has ever been, one of the lowest in Europe, at only 5.3%. This means that more rapists were convicted in the 1970s when Reclaim The Night marches first started than they are now. Did you know that the maximum sentence possible for rape is life imprisonment? Probably not, because rarely are rapists even reported or convicted, let alone with a realistic sentence. This situation has to change. This is a women-only march, details below:
Assemble 6pm (march to start promptly at 6.30pm)
