The group is celebrating its most successful fund-raising year.

The circle raised £1,250 for its chosen charity of the year, the British Epilepsy Association, with a '70s disco, a stall at Kidderminster Carnival, a fun day at a member's home, a herbalist demonstration, the Round Table Christmas float, and a donation from outgoing chairman Karen Baldwin's employer, the National Westminster Bank/Royal Bank of Scotland.

Several members dressed as witches at Hallowe'en to collect money to help a local school buy a cooker.

The new chairman is Angela Lea, and she picked Wyre Forest Women's Aid and Wyre Forest Nursery Language Unit as her charities. Pam Grice took over as president from Gill Pochribniak, who has become Kidderminster Tangent's new chairman.

The circle meets twice monthly on Tuesday evenings, and anyone from 18-45 can join - contact Sarah Beadsworth on 01562 67705.

Future events include a curry night, bat talk, herbery visit, clairvoyant evening, riverboat trip and wine-tasting.
