A Blooming lovely evening: Flower Arranging Workshop

Tonight we’re delighted to welcome local florist Emily from The Bloom Shed, who will be treating us to a special Flower Arranging Workshop. You may have seen some of Emily’s lovely little bloom jars and flower strips around Ringwood! Emily will begin by sharing her journey into floristry, followed by a demonstration to inspire you. You’ll then have the chance to get creative and make your very own hand-tied floral arrangement to take home. Please note that we won’t be serving a meal at this event, as we’ll need plenty of space to ensure as many of you as possible can take part. However, tea, coffee, and cake will be provided for you to enjoy. There is a small additional workshop fee of £5, but you’ll leave with a beautiful arrangement made by your own hands—well worth it! Price (including refreshments and your floral creation):

Members: £23

Non-members: £29

We look forward to seeing you there for a fun and creative evening

'Son of a Spy'

Join us for a fascinating and thought-provoking talk with Mike Randall as he shares the extraordinary story of growing up as the son of a man he now believes may have been far more than just a diplomat.

Mike’s father was a soldier and prisoner of war during World War II before embarking on a diplomatic career that took the family to some of the most politically charged locations of the Cold War, including Moscow, East Berlin, Istanbul and Baghdad. Yet as Mike reflects on his childhood memories, unanswered questions begin to emerge. Why did his father so often work late into the night? Why did visa stamps in his diplomatic passport not match his official postings? And was he really working in diplomatic security — or was there something far more covert taking place behind the scenes?

Through personal memories, hidden clues and remarkable revelations, Mike pieces together a compelling story of espionage, secrecy and family life during one of the most tense periods of modern history. This promises to be a captivating afternoon of intrigue, history and real-life mystery as Mike explores what it was truly like to grow up as the son of a spy.

Sisterhood on a Tuk Tuk!

Tonight we're delighted to welcome Jo O’Connell, local travel expert and adventurer, to share an incredible story of her recent journey across India as part of the Sisterhood Rickshaw Challenge 2026.

Jo and her sister joined 33 other women on an unforgettable 1,200km coast-to-coast adventure, driving a tuk-tuk across India in support of education and community projects. From navigating chaotic roads packed with lorries, cows, monkeys and endless traffic, to battling exhaustion, dust, heat and the unexpected at every turn, this was no ordinary road trip!

Jo will share with us the highs, lows and hilarious moments of this once-in-a-lifetime challenge, sharing what it was really like to take on India’s roads in a tiny tuk-tuk with nothing but determination and sisterhood that carried the team all the way to the finish line.
