Our meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at Banner Cross Methodist Church. Arrivals from 7pm for a 7.15 start and finishing at 9.15pm. We begin with a short ‘business’ update and then have a speaker or demonstration for approximately 50mins. We finish with Refreshments and chat.
We also have a £1 table* at every meeting
(* please bring items along - as funds raised will support our local charity of the year)
Members note: please remember to refer to the cake rota, this will also be the month for helping in the kitchen, thank you!
