We now have an enthusiastic group of about 18 members not exclusively WI. We meet twice a month: on the 1st Monday of the month at 2.30pm and the 3rd Wednesday at 7.30pm, hosted each time by a different member. So far the afternoon meetings are better attended but this may change as the summer approaches.

There are various projects underway, several members have completed blankets for SANDS (Stillborn and Neonatal Death Society) and we had 2 felting workshops in April 2011 kindly organised by Linda Dixon.

The group is only constrained by size of members houses! but if any one is interested please contact me - anniebrooker10@gmail.com There is a wide range of skills in the group and we all help each other.
