Wednesday Craft

 A bumper crowd turned up for the quilling workshop and lovely stuff was produced (Thank you Tina for the comment and photos) 

Barbara said: Thank you to everyone who came to craft this afternoon. I think it was a great success and once into the flow, enjoyable with some lovely creations.

Comments from the folk who took part: 
Thank you Barbara for a very enjoyable afternoon with great company

Thanks Barbara and ladies for another lovely afternoon.

Thank you.




Busy day on Monday, this week!

 Lovely but chilly and very windy walk today to Greenway. (Thank you Mary W for the comment and lovely photos)


Sew Mondays spent a very enjoyable afternoon together, looking at various items already completed, some in process and others in the planning stages. All very satisfying and productive!

February Institute meeting

 Today’s speaker could not have been further from our originally published event! Sadly the speaker on Dolls Houses was unable to attend, and we were able to find a replacement, at quite short notice, who told us about his life as a forensic scientist! With some detail! It was very interesting indeed, and we came away with a deal of useful information…..

Don’t forget our Afternoon Tea at 2 o’clock on Thursday 29th February, we have a darts game coming up on 18th March at 1.30 at the Cricket Club, a card games afternoon at 2pm 6th March at the Rugby Club and in March there will be a trip to Brixham theatre to see the Barbie movie. Don’t shut this one down without giving it a chance, it’s a great film with a very unexpected message - only £2.50 for members, wearing pink, of course! 

Here is a poster from Aldine, for those of you who like to drink coffee and look at fabrics and quilting! It coincides with the date for our monthly coffee morning - shall we go there for a change from the usual spot?

Books!

 Since we have been thinking about books and our Book groups lately…. Have you noticed that you can borrow audio books from the library? Also BorrowBox, of course! If you like listening and you haven’t heard of this, call into Brixham Library and they will tell you all about it! It is great!

We have been reading some of the Hogarth Shakespeare novels in Book Share. A number of famous authors were commissioned to write a Shakespeare play in their own style. Highly recommended - by me, at least!
