Business club closure boosts funds for Koalas
After meeting for 23 years the Swindon Women’s Business Breakfast Club
has closed down and passed on its bank balance to Koala Special Needs
Playgroup, which this year marks its twenty-fifth anniversary.

Glitter Star Pamper Parties are exclusively for girls aged 4 - 12
within the Swindon area. The ultimate glittery party that girls
will love and remember and want again. The good news for mum
and dad is that you can sit back and watch the fun as we will
pamper and entertain the birthday girl and all her
guests, within your own home or chosen venue.
Parties are based on relevant ages and
individual requirements so if birthday girl
is more of a Jessie J fan than Barbie
then we can accommodate.
Birthday girl will also receive a gift and enjoy Janice Knight, left, and club member Julia Falaki with Stephanie Hathaway of
