Floristry Workshop
Ash Tree Floral Designs’ next workshop at The Old Post Office is on Sunday 19 July from 11am-1pm. Workshop guests will learn floristry skills from Ashley, an award-winning tutor. You’ll take your bouquet, made from locally grown blooms, home with you. Skills for life! Book your place through Ash Tree Floral Designs’ website.
Help a coworker
Coworker Lara is looking for participants for her masters research! It's investigating how our relationships with our coworkers affect our attitudes to people who differ from us outside the workplace - an area that I'm sure many of you will find important. She needs pairs of people working at the same organisation with an age gap of 10 years or more to fill out two surveys. If you and someone else working at your organisation are willing to take part, see the attached flyer and/or email [email protected] for more info. Participants will be entered into a prize draw as a thank you.
Note, the flyer asks for a 15 year age gap, this is preferred, but if you don’t have coworkers with this age gap a 10 year gap is also helpful for this research
