Of course there is a Xmas fuddle, held at our usual premises, which has a very well appointed bar area. Some of the members
get together to carry out the catering. We also have a Summer Dinner which is very popular. Recently this has been at Sandmoor Golf Club.
Each year we do a project, usually quite small items. The idea is that each member produces an item which can be sold at the craft for Xmas show, this raises a few pounds for
the group.
