SUNDAY SPINNERS

Sunday Spinners graphic

How would you like to spend an afternoon with like minded people, enjoying a chat and cuppa whilst you spin, knit or even perhaps weave?

We are a group of very friendly girls who meet on the first Sunday of the month between 11am and 3pm and would welcome new people to come and join us.

Feel free to turn up with your wheel or whatever current project you have going and have a pleasant afternoon with us.

CHARITY BASKET

We would like to support a local charity which receives no government funding and have selected St Mary's House of Welcome.

We ask that you make hats, gloves, socks, scarves and small items and through this charity these will be given to the many homeless people who live in our city.

If you wish to make children's items we will also pass them on to a deserving charity.
