An outing/day trip will be organised hopefully sometime in June. Proposals at the moment are for the Transport Museum, Kelvingrove Art galleries or a trip on the Waverley. These will be given due consideration but if you have any other suggestions please voice your choice to any committee member.

 

More News

Throughout the year we have seen a steady increase in numbers. We would ask everyone to make new members feel welcome. It can be quite daunting when first coming into our group as for some people this may be their only social contact and they may be unsure of protocol. We encourage people to move around the hall and interact with others.  This can be quite pleasant for all. 

A reminder also that our club time is as follows:

1.30 pm to 3.30 pm.

As Chatty Crafters hire/pay for the hall within this time slot we would ask that you ensure arrival no earlier than 1.15 pm and that carers attending should also be made aware of this.

(We understand that for some members using  public transport can be unreliable and judging times a "hit-or-a-miss") 

Thank you.

Miscellaneous

Our jewellery workshop with Sharon ran out of time but Sharon agreed to return (Tues 4^th March) to finish off our necklaces, etc.

Pamela’s ‘needle felting’ in November also proved to be a 2 session workshop. Pamela hopes to do the second session sometime in March, either in person or by conducting the group via a Zoom session. Further update to follow on this.
