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.
Architecture for Fun PLAZA CINEMA TOUR
In my negotiation for the above , I informed the Cinema Manager on 8/1/24 that I normally get 30-40 attendees at my events , I had no comment with regard to maximum numbers that could be accommodated , on 9/1/24 after attending the coffee morning I took 43 bookings , again I informed the Cinema Manager of this fact , no comment re. maximum numbers was received , I continued taking bookings and got to 46. On the 11/1/24 the Cinema Manager verbally informed me that the maximum number that could be accommodated was 25 , I expressed my disappointment that I had not received this detail after my emails of 8/1/24 and 9/1/24 , he reiterated that this was the maximum number that could take the tour on 24/1 24
I discussed 2 options by email with him and he eventually verbally agreed to the second option. Therefore , there will be 2 dates for 25 members to take the tour , 24/1/24 and 31/1/24 , I have produced 2 lists , please call or text George on 07826 048379 or call in at the Architecture for Fun desk to find what list each member is on

Postponement of Birmingham February trip
Hi all
I have just received an email, it’s a shame for us but Birmingham have decided to do some much needed upgrade to some of the Museum, therefore closing the whole place, except for one small area
This information was not available when I made enquiries last year.
I feel it’s not cost effective to go to see just the Cathedral, beautiful though it is.
Let me know if you are in agreement please before I cancel the coach etc.
I am proposing we rebook late summer, which is the expected reopening .
Another art event will be available soon.
