Next meeting 5th April.
Bring along your own project and spend a sociable morning with like-minded folk. We have spinners and weavers, knitters and crocheters, those who sew and those who make lace and numerous others .... If this sounds like the group for you or you would like advice in starting a craft do come along. We pay a small hiring charge per person each time but there is coffee, tea, biscuits and friendly encouragement too.
See the Groups Bulletin for details.
