A sophisticated night out

Purely for research purposes, Radlett Circle went to the see the Chippendales last night at the St Albans Arena. Shirley and Nic G found the joys of sitting on the end of the row, only 4 rows back from the front! Luckily, these weren't the original Chips (who we suspect would need some help to get their kit off in a hurry these days) but the new and improved version. Fantastic night out and here is the photo to prove it!

So what have we been doing in 2010 so far?

Long time, no post I'm afraid but thought we should do a quick update on the year so far. We've had a good meeting at Pizza Express and have been doing lots of planning around events for this year. We had a great time at our Christmas Party in Elstree and the Pre-Christmas cocktails organised and hosted by Suzanne so 2009 finished well and in usual style!

Everyone is looking forward to the Oscars Night at Elstree Film Studios next month, organised by Radlett Round Table. There will be lots of 'awards' for the 130+ 'nominees' attending and a great night with lots of eating, drinking, dancing and laughs is promised. We've also got a family Easter Egg Hunt planned and a trip to the Chippendales coming up.

Welcome to the Radlett club!

At the Think Pink night last week, Suzanne welcomed Louise as our newest member. We're thrilled that Louise is joining us and are looking forward to all her new ideas! We didn't even put her through the promised initiation ceremony!

Alternative Quiz Night!

Saturday's Alternative Quiz Night went down a storm again. Rather than boring questions about sport, history etc, we had to make egg holders from spaghetti and marshmallows, identify distorted celebrities and dress a real mummy. The food was great and we raised over £1,200 for our two charities: STEPS and BEAT. Well done to all who helped organised and thanks to everyone who attended.

Summer's Evening

On a glorious summer's evening (remember those?) last month, Circlers from all over Area 21 came together for our annual dinner and to give our summer dresses an outing. After champagne cocktails in the last of the sun, we sat down to a gorgeous dinner along with mega chat-a-thon. Nicki Stocken, our National President, joined us and shared how much she's enjoying her role this year despite many early starts and late nights - she's off to International Conference in Bangalore later this month. Many thanks to Harpenden for organising such a great evening on behalf of Welwyn, Radlett, Harpenden and St Albans circlers.

There go the girls!

Congratulations to Julie & Nicole for helping the Peace Hospice by throwing themselves off a tall building! Luckily, they were attached to an abseil as they descended 90ft down the side of the Harlequin Centre, Watford. Accompanied by Spiderman and Vicky Pollard among others (aka Steve & Ray from Radlett Round Table), they raised thousands for a good cause. Thanks to all who came along to cheer them on! Watch out in the Watford Observer for more coverage...

Welcome to our two newest members

A big welcome to Liz and Helen, our two newest members during a lovely evening of wine, cake and strawberries at Shirley's earlier this week. We're all set for Radlett Festival on Sunday and are getting the publicity going for our Cheese, Wine & Chat in a couple of weeks. We're also hoping that the weather stays gorgeous for the Open Air Theatre trip as wellies is so not a good look!

Here come the girls...for a taste of Circle!
