Meetings

Meetings are held at the United Church Hall on the third Thursday evening of the month, usually commencing at 7.30pm

Social Stitching meetings are held on a Thursday afternoon from 2.00pm to 4.00pm at a member’s house when there is no evening meeting. This is an opportunity to meet members, chat, exchange ideas and participate in any craft that is small enough to be portable.

Meetings cost £1 for members and £3 for visitors.
