Leader: Sheila Golledge
Where does the group meet: Holy Spirit Social Centre
When does the group meet: 1st Monday morning of the month
Does the group accept new members: Waiting list
What does the group do:
The U3A Craft Group meets (usually) on the first Monday of each month from 10-12am. Our meetings take place in a different group member’s home each month and we have now met three times.
We now have a membership of 23 members on our list, and have decided to put any prospective new members onto a waiting list.
We are a group with diverse skills and interests who enjoy getting together to learn from each other. Members do not have to be highly skilled, though some are indeed very talented. As group leader I would say that I am thoroughly enjoying watching and learning from the other members. My role is to co-ordinate the group but not to lead or teach in any technical way!
