Elland Ladies Circle organised a Charity Ball at Berties in Elland on 7th February 2009. The theme was Hollywood and we had  guest entertainers who were Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin look-a-likes. The event raised approximately £600.

On the 20th March Elland Ladies Circle celebrated their 47th Charter. This is a annual celebration of the setting up of the club. The event was held at West Vale Masonic Lodge and people attending dressed in fancy dress to the theme of Disney Characters and Hollywood Heroes. As tradition dictates the ladies circle members performed a short “sketch” to music to the amusement of our partners and friends.

On 30th January 2010 Elland Ladies Circle rowed the English Channel and back. Well ok,  it was on 2 rowing machines in our Chairman’s front room. Twelve members rowed 6000 metres each, a total of 72,000 metres, the distance from Dover to Calais and return. We started rowing at 10:30am and completed the challenge in just over 4 hours. We “stopped” for a bite of lunch in “France”, consisting all things French - bread, cheese, pate, wine (if you wanted) followed by some lovely home baked cakes.

In all we raised approx £500 which will go to our main charity this year which is Skill Shop. Left is a picture at the end of the Challenge !
