Creative Crafts
This vibrant and exciting group has room for a few more members. Meeting each Monday at St George’s URC Church on Northway at 13:30 the group has produced many a display of their skill at our Tuesday Coffee Morning and impressed all who attended. Examples of their work in embroidery, quilting collage and patchwork, to name just a few, have been quite breathtaking. Ideas abound within the group and the members are all ready to share their skills with you.
Ring Maureen Collier on 0151 526 0837 so you can find out exactly what this group can offer you.
