Today’s meeting was to learn about the charity that helps ladies with hair loss to wear a scarf or headband in an interesting and stylish fashion. The charity sends out packs with caps, scarfs and headbands to cancer sufferers who are losing their hair due to treatment. Karyn explained how face to face or zoom meetings are arranged so different styles can be tried, and then demonstrated on herself without the aid of a mirror.
Please remember that entrance to the meeting is now £3 for members and £6 for non-members. Please bring the right money if you have it as change is scarce. Subscription for the year remains at £25
