EVENT: York Feminist Network picnic (20th July)

From email:

Hello Huddersfield Feminist Collective!

Just wanted to let you know about a ‘Yorkshire Feminists’ picnic that we (York Feminist Network) are hosting on Saturday 20th July in York.

Details from our Facebook event:

We are hosting a picnic for Yorkshire feminists from across all corners of our fine county!

On Saturday 20th July, from midday onwards, you will find us at the community gardens opposite The Golden Ball (pub) on Cromwell Road in York.

Women, men and children all welcome!

Bring food and drink, as much or as little as you like. As hosts, we shall endeavour to provide as hearty an offering as we are able of some of the ‘picnic essentials’ – sandwiches, cake etc. We will bring as many blankets as we can scramble together, and will also provide all nibbling accessories (cups, plates etc).

Anyone able to bring along a football / a frisbee / any other object capable of providing entertainment for young children, that would be much appreciated.

EVENT: Come and sing in the Packhorse Centre this Saturday (13th April) with ‘Mice in the Attic’.

This is short notice but in case any of you can make it (sent to HFC on email).

Dora Thewlis and Edith Key were prominent women in Huddersfield’s history and very important in the Suffrage movement. The ‘Mice in the Attic’ will tell their stories through a series of events and ‘mini happenings’ over the coming months.

We kick start the project this Saturday in the Packhorse Centre, Huddersfield (map), where we are inviting community singers (no experience needed) to very quickly learn and rehearse a few simple songs from that era, with familiar tunes.

Morning session: Come along at 10am to learn the songs and we’ll be singing between 11.30 and 12.30

Afternoon session: Come along at 1pm to learn the songs and we’ll be singing between 2.30 and 3.30

Or do both!

It will be a very relaxed and fun affair, you’ll need to spare no more than three hours and be up for singing in the public shopping centre. You’ll get a cup of tea and a bun to keep your energy up! If you would like to be part of the very first ‘Mice in the Attic’ event, please e mail us on miceintheattic@outlook.com or visit www.miceintheattic.co.uk Big groups welcome! The more voices, the better!

Pop along and watch.

As well as live singing, there will be a bit of contemporary dance set to a live violinist. If you do not wish to sing but you’d like to come and experience some performance, come to the Packhorse anytime between 11.30am – 12.30pm or 2.30pm – 3.30pm.
