Many thanks to Katharine for an excellent cross spangling workshop on Saturday, 4 November - an enjoyable and productive afternoon.

Our next meeting takes place on Saturday, 2 December at 12 noon until 4.00pm at New Longton Village Hall.  Some members will be bringing treats to nibble, some will bring quizzes and some will bring games or other activities, so there should be plenty for the group to choose from on the day.  We shall also have a secret Santa for anyone who wishes to participate - bring a wrapped gift to the value of £5.00.

Next Meeting: Needle Felting with Lisa Moore on Saturday, 4 February

Our next meeting will take place on Saturday, 4 February when Lisa Moore will be running a workshop on Needle Felting.  Those attending have already chosen the pattern they will make.  Last time, Lisa brought extra packs for anyone who decided to have a go on the day, so it might not be too late to join us if you are interested.  The AGM will take place on Saturday, 4 March at 1.00 pm.  Visitors are invited to join us for both meetings, but will not be able to vote at the AGM.  If any members have not yet received the agenda and minutes of the last AGM, please contact the secretary.
