Love your breasts- October is National Breast Awareness month

Love your Breasts! 
 October is National Breast Awareness Month!

Next months meeting will be a boob extravaganza as October is National Breast Awareness month. No need to panic, you don't need to have them on show, we just want to raise awareness about breasts and have experts to talk just about that!

One of our new members, the lovely Zoe, is a doctor and she's going to remind us about breast health and how to check our breasts for danger signs.
We also have Rosanne from 'Rosa's', the fabulous lingerie shop on Church Street, coming along to demonstrate on a couple of game volunteers the best way to measure yourself for a new bra to ensure the perfect fit. (Don't worry, they'll probably keep their t-shirts on!)

Both speakers will be available to answer questions after their talk.

Bring Us your Bras! 


Please bring along any old or ill-fitting bras you no longer wear, or that impulse buy that's sat in your drawer never worn! We will be donating them to the 'Against Breast Cancer' an amazing charity who, as well as seeking a vaccine against breast cancer, send bras to Africa. See the charity details here: www.againstbreastcancer.org.uk

Although this is a serious subject, it looks like it's going to be a fun and informative night.

Don't forget to grab a drink from the bar when you arrive - and there'll be an interval for refills!

This meeting is free for members and visitors

Ree Ree Rockette- From school teacher to beauty Entrepreneur
Ree Ree Rockette and Ellington

ReeRee, a local business woman,  will be talking us through her career change from Teacher/librarian to blogger and business woman. She made the leap from steady career path to creatively self employed, and says technology largely allowed her to do so. Happy to talk business, geekery and positive thinking, ReeRee will be sharing her story so far, as well as answering any questions you may have. Ree Ree is  heavily involved with the "Vintage Scene" and her first blog was called alternatively lovely, and challenged the notions of what beauty means to all of us
Ree Ree's motto is "that we lead the life we choose, and despite liking my career in education a lot, it just wasn't what I wanted for myself long term. I needed to take some time to figure out not only what I wanted, but what else I could ever be good at. What followed was a blog, a lipstick brand, a women's business group and a hair salon. I'm ambitious and have so much more I want to achieve!''
