Karen Gard

I'm Karen and I am 44 years old. I live in Ashton-under-Lyne with husband Russell, who is an active member of Round Table, and Bethan (13) and Laurence (11). I run my own small embroidery business which is based in Ashton.

I joined Ladies Circle many years ago when I was 29 years old and we were living in Neath in South Wales. A few years later we moved to Wolverhampton and then again to Ashton, and as we've moved I've transferred Circles.

It is great from that point of view, because wherever you go there is almost a ready-made circle (no pun intended!) of friends ready to welcome you to meetings.

The children also benefit from Circle. They make new friends and enjoy the various activities throughout the year. It is amazing how useful young lads can be at events such as the bonfire in Manor Park. They love to don a fluorescent bib and help the adults man the entrance gates, while the girls are helping the mums serve cakes and sweets in the Circle tent.

Like many things in life, you get out of Circle what you are prepared to put in. For me, it strikes the perfect balance – two evenings a month 'me time', away from husband and kids, but then there are also plenty of opportunities to socialise as couples and also as families. Come along and give it a go – I'm sure you won't regret it!
