December Meeting
A happy craft meeting was held on the 1st December when 11 ladies attended. Once again Wendy led by showing us how to make bobble hat Christmas decorations in blue and yellow the colours of u3a. She also provided us with mince pies.
Afterwards some of us went to Crediton church to decorate the u3a Christmas tree with our newly made decorations along with some past ones. Ian also came along to help us with the top of the tree. Thank you Ian.
I hope many of you will go to the Christmas tree festival and we'd love to hear any feedback about our efforts.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 5th January. Wishing everyone a happy and safe Christmas.

Beginners monoprint workshop
-----
At the February meeting the Craft group enjoyed a monoprint workshop delivered by Jane Innes. Nine members attended at the Old Landscore Nursery school venue. Jane was assisted by U3A member Karen With, and she was a great help. The nine members created many prints... and for most it was their first attempt.
