Who We Are

The “Belles” is one of the women’s fellowship groups at St. John’s, Shirley, who currently meet on a Thursday once a month. 

The purpose of our meetings is to extend our church life by meeting together.

We enjoy a variety of events, beginning with our AGM, which is usually a Curry Night; we usually hold a bingo/ fish and chips supper night in March/|April, strawberries and wine evening in the summer and we have been known to go as far as France!

The Belles is a thriving and lively group with over 50 members and can be a fantastic way of meeting some of the other women of St. John’s, if you are new to the church.

We usually hold a raffle on the evenings when we meet, to raise money for a number of good causes, including a young boy we have sponsored through World Vision, as well as raising money for a number of local charities, including St. Christopher’s Hospice.

Subs for the year 2009/10 have remained at £10, with half of this going directly towards the money we raise for charity.

If you would like to join us, be assured of a very warm welcome, some great laughs and if you would like to know more please speak to me or one of the Committee members.

If you would like to know more please speak to me, Georgina Roseweir (8777 2820) or one of the other committee members who are, Julie Turpin, Treasurer, Vanita Elphinstone, Amanda Stretton, Sandra Morrison, Catherine Foot and Adele McCabe.
