SumacNews: Hula Hoop Shaking; Greyhound Rescue Benefit; Juggling Veggies Burgers; help Lab Animals; Mowtown & more.

This week were really going to be working up an appetite as we are
making and shaking hula hoops....

Thursday, 7th April from 4pm at the Sumac Centre

School-a-hoop present...Make your own hoop!

Hooping as liberation and exercise....a perfect way to make use of
your body...its quite addictive too! At this skill share were going to
be making hoops from reclaimed/scavenged piping and decorating them
with tape, material scraps and shiny bits...so keep your eye on the
building sites and bring some pipe if you can. We'll have materials
for covering hoops, but we'll ask for small donation to cover costs of
some specialist tape. (We also run weekly skill share style hooping
sessions at QMX dance studio, in Old Knows Studio every Wednesday,
6.30-8pm. It's £5 to cover room hire.)

Dinner at around 7.30....or come a bit earlier and help the chefs.

As always, please continue to bring any surplus food you have and if
you're interested in getting involved in cooking in future weeks
please chat to us/sign up on rota on Sumac notice board.

If you're interested in sharing a skill please contact: Sarah on
sarahbands@hotmail.co.uk or Alice on alibubbles69@hotmail.com

The same Saturday 16th also features Sumac's annual Mowtown & Soul Night

It's time to swirl and swoon and show the floor what your booty's for
at Merrick and Andy's birthday night of irresistible soul stompers.
7pm-midnight at the Sumac Centre. Sumac is a private members club, but
members and guests are welcome at this event.

With Andy's newly acquired massive collection of killer 45s, this year
there'll be his choice tunes as well as stalwart soulster Merrick
spinning chart-toppers, classics and rarities, every one a vintage
floor filler. No door tax, great music is a right not a privilege.
