Sutton in Craven WI

Sunstone Yoga. Caz Ive
“Toes to Nose” instructed Caz -a gasp ran round the room. Could she be serious?
As the ladies of Sutton WI contemplated how on earth they could get their toes to touch their noses, laughter broke out. It only took a second for us to realise Caz wanted us to point our toes in the direction of our noses. Ah ! That was fine, we could manage that!
Lots of laughter and fun summed up this gentle session of stretching that everyone enjoyed. Caz took us through a series of seated arm, leg and body stretches with moves that were attainable by all, followed by a peaceful, relaxing “cool down”, when the room became magically quiet and calm.
Caz explained that she prefers slow, gentle movements in Yoga, encouraging participants towards getting to know their own body and its abilities, so her classes suit any age or ability- you don’t have to be young, very fit, and or able to touch your nose with your toes!
Caz holds her classes at Sutton Village Hall on Tuesdays at 10am to 11, with around 10 ladies
In April Caz is planning to start a new Chair Yoga group at 11.30 on Tuesdays, for around an hour.
Classes cost £48 for 6 classes or £10 for one- this taster session was so popular and enjoyable that it was clear the new group will fill up soon- for more information ring

Speaker: Laura Winnery, Olive Lounge Travel
Olive Lounge Travel has been awarded the Top Travel Agency in Yorkshire and Laura herself the Sutstainable Travel Champion, so we were learning from the best this afternoon!
Most of us know the Olive Lounge Agency, in Crosshills, at the top of Station Road, but few of us realised the detailed care in the services they offer- from Fizz Friday, ( a well-kept secret) to booking great value weekend theatre breaks in London, or even every last detail of a round the world trip, this agency ensures that your booking runs smoothly and is tailor made to your needs. As professionals, they have over 100 year’s experience- if they haven’t been there, they know someone who has, and will offer specialist advice on your chosen location. They believe the booking process should be part of the joy of travel, so work hard to ensure you feel relaxed throughout the process. There is no charge for service, prices are matched with the internet and they have a high percentage of repeat bookings. Olive Lounge will ensure that all your health, dietary or mobility issues are catered for, will book attractions, ground floor rooms, help in airports: what ever you need to ensure your trip is a success. They even present you with a folder of documents, printed out ready for your trip, once the booking is complete; no more searching your phone for the flight tickets! Perhaps this is the key to the quality of service: the feeling that “your not on your own”- there is always a dedicated, expert agent on hand where ever you are in the world, to help with that missed flight, change of plans or other hiccup that might crop up.

Crafty Coasters with Our Crafting Queen, Bev
A record 38 members attended today’s meeting- a testament to the popularity and skills of our Crafting Queen, Bev- and the result was 38 ladies left the building proudly holding their own unique, very special and attractive coaster.
Bev started the afternoon by explaining the method- first, chose the colours and cut outs you wish to use. Second- coat your coaster in PVA- carefully, with a thin layer of glue. Next- arrange your first layer. Coat it with PVA. Repeat until your design is complete then add 4 thin layers of PVA, letting each one dry. When everyone was clear on the method, we were allowed to choose our design – and what a choice!
A multitude of different colours, shapes, coloured papers, patterned papers, letters, stars, circles, jigsaw pieces- the table was awash with so many different pieces it was almost impossible to pick a favourite- simple background, fancy letter? Patterned background, plain decoration? Your favourite colour…or favourite swirly design?
Once the choice was made, the room became quiet and we started work.
A simple, effective idea from Bev, combined with a great deal of preparation and creativity led to 38 delightful coasters which we can enjoy and use at home.
A massive thank you to Bev, who has so many great ideas and is so good at showing us all how to put things together to create a truly original work of art.
