James comes into our rooms on a Friday, so the library is open from 1.00pm until 5.00pm on Fridays. You will find a committee member at our events, so see them if you want to get a library book while you wait for the event to start.

Meditation and Speakers start at 7.00pm

Please note as we mentioned in the previous newsletter that Monday night meditation and the Wednesday night speakers both now start at 7.00pm, so we finish a little earlier.

Healing Circle

A monthly healing circle will be held on the first Monday of the month at 6.0pm. But, note that for THIS COMING MONTH ONLY , the first healing circle will be on Monday 9th of March Everyone is welcome. This will of course lead into the meditation group that starts at 7.00pm. You may wish to come for both.

We decided at our committee meeting that we will have a small space to the side of the room set aside where people can come and reflect. We will have candles placed to light. You are free to come at any time, especially before any of our events to use the space.

Farewell for Margaret and Bill

Margaret and Bill van der Vis will be leaving the building in which we have our rooms at the end of March and so we are having a farewell afternoon tea on Saturday 21st March at 3.00pm.
