Red Hot Lava's - May outing

For our May Meeting we had planned to go 10 Pin Bowling. We met at the Alley at 10.30 as agreed, and found the signs all said 'Open 7 days from 10 am', but the doors were all firmly closed....







Guess I should have phoned first to advise them we were coming.
So we agreed to have morning tea out instead.









It was decided to go to Peppers cafe, Sala St where the food was excellent. As there was only a small group of us we each gave a wee history of ourselves, and after much laughter we all agreed we had got to know each other much better.











Don't you just love the purple & red footwear too!

Red Hot Lavas Create Jewellery

With our Annual Conference being held in October, it was decided we may need to have more fancy bling.........so why not make our own



So for our April meeting 10 ladies attended a craft session at Bead Me Up.








Owner Roz and her staff were happy to help us in our selection of items to make, and beads required to make these items.




Lady Godiva must have felt very special on the day, as she came dressed as a sparkly purple fairy.

After many spilt beads, and much patience, everyone was eventually able to pose for a group photo wearing her new item of bling. Amazing at the different end results, but ALL stunning works of art.



We then paraded through town to have a most enjoyable lunch at Capers, drawing many looks and smiles from lunchtime shoppers.




After lunch a few of us spared a few moments to see a Dolls Exhibition at RAVE, which was part of Dyslexia Awareness week.
