So Who Are Coleshill Ladies Circle?
We are a group of women who meet up regularly to enjoy some planned social
events and general friendship. Most of us are busy mums trying to juggle work,
partners and children, sometimes we want some time to let our hair down and do
something for ourselves. Belonging to Ladies Circle gives us the opportunity to
escape from family and work commitments for a couple of hours and also gives us
the chance to take part in some activities that we wouldn’t normally have done
and putting something extra into your life.
Ladies Circle is open to women between the ages of 18 and
45. After 45 there is our sister organisation ‘Tangent’, but we organise joint
events and there’s plenty of opportunity for the two groups to join
up.
Coleshill Ladies Circle meets on alternate Tuesdays. Sometimes it might be at
someone’s’ house, when we can have a chat over a bottle of wine, or we might go
out to a restaurant or have a go at something totally different, like a Ghost
Walk in Birmingham or Bowling. The atmosphere is informal and there’s no
pressure on anyone to come along to every meeting, we all know how many other
commitments people have! It’s great to know that you can always escape once in a
while to meet up with friends and meet up for a drink and a chat, or get dressed
up to the nines, just please yourself.
So what are we planning to do?
Well, we socialise! Sometimes foods on the menu, sometimes its more active.
Over the past year we’ve:
- Had a Spanish dancing lesson
- Cycled round the local villages (with plenty of drink
stops)
- Eaten out several times, from BBQ’s to posh
hotels
- Taught to make a proper Curry
- Played Boules with another local Circle
And we’re planning to do as many varied events this year.
Also, as a group and as part of Ladies Circle we join in
and organise fundraising for the local community and for Ladies Circle’s
national charity, Cancer Research UK. Most are fun events and
include:
- Race for Life
- Zipwire challenge down the side of Fort
Dunlop.
- Walk the walk at the Great North Run
- Think Pink evening when we auctioned off mystery ‘pink’
gifts
- Disco with live band in Coleshill
- Helping Coleshill Round table with their Christmas
Sleigh
And there’s always invites to other events that local circles are planning,
such as Champagne and Strawberries evening and a Ladies day at the
Races…..
Why not come along to a meeting
Come along and meet us, make new friends, have a laugh, a chat, enjoy good
food and drink, or try something new or help to put something back into the
local community. You’ll have the chance to broaden your skills and experience,
even have a try at public speaking and event organising, network, travel to
different places locally and internationally, meet and exchange ideas with
like-minded women. Guests are welcome at all of our meetings.
If you live in the area (and we have members from Sutton, Marston Green and
Curdworth) and are under 45, then please contact us via Anna Richardson
chez.richardson1@btinternet.com or Lisa Wilcox at lisa.wilcox@yearlsey.co.uk or richardandhelens@yahoo.co.uk. There’s no further commitment, but we’ll tell you when and where
our meetings are going to be.
