Tuesday: 10.30 meet at the café at Lupton House for our monthly coffee morning

Churston Golf Club meet at 12.30 ish if you are having lunch or 2 if you are colouring

DFWI competition for the Spring Council meeting

 This looks like a lot of fun - and very good for the little grey cells! Who is up for it? (you have loads of time- closing date 24th February!)

Craft afternoon

 Very best wishes to all of our members who are feeling poorly or who are away on holiday at the moment - we missed you all!

We enjoyed a very chatty afternoon, making kusudama flowers: some of us remembering how to do it and the rest learning for the first time. Lots of fun and a great afternoon, thank you, everyone! Jayne, Ann P, Wendy Mac Pat, Susan F and Carol P.

Important information from Yes @The Edge

With the cost of energy on the rise YES is offering a safe and cosy space throughout the winter months. Our heated main hall will be open for dropins all week with laptops/internet access available, hot food served daily and a kettle that’s never far away!

 

Sew Mondays

 Six of us were sewing today, on this Sew Monday at Jill’s house. We were all working on our own projects: a Christmas angel, a swan and a needle case as well as some quilting panels, and a sewing kit. All very industrious, sociable and very enjoyable!
