Knit and Natter
Anyone is welcome to join this group which gives opportunity to meet new people and make much needed time for yourself. Drinks and cake are provided. Materials are offered for you to learn to knit or crochet; alternatively, take your own project to work on. The group meets every Wednesday from 10.00am to 12.00pm.
