Free Ladies day at Jennyfield Community Centre 26 April

7 NOVEMBER 2006 - ACCORDING to national market research, women will spend up to £1bn next year on making up their faces.  Ladies popping into Harrogate Borough Council's Fairfax Community Centre on 13 November will be able to do it for free.
 
The centre is hosting an open invitation Ladies Day and, as well as Virgin Vie facials and makeovers, council staff from the Turkish Baths spa and beauty treatment teams will also be doing nails and hand massages.
 
Garry Atkins, the Centre's Manager explained why they decided to put on this event:  "It doesn't matter what age ladies are, they all want to look their very best especially for the festive season.  This is the time of year when both time and money are in short supply.  So if any lady is thinking of trying something new but hasn't got the chance to get into town or the cash to waste if what they buy doesn't suit them, they should pop in on the 13th and get some expert advice and the chance to sample without buying."
 
And if they want to drop a few pounds before putting on their party dresses, there will be taster sessions of ThaiBoxRobics. 
 
There will also be Christmas stalls selling party candles, cards and wrapping paper and discounted books for children.
 
The special Ladies Day, which is open to all ages and will run on
13 November from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm at Fairfax Community Centre, Fairfax Avenue, Harrogate.
 
FURTHER INFORMATION:  is available from Garry Atkins, Senior Community Development Officer on 01423 883614.
