WINTER SOCIAL MONDAY 22nd JANUARY 2018




Very many thanks to Jo Stewart who brought along some of her lovely quilting for us to admire today.

As you can see her work is outstanding and extremely skilful. Her ideas, creativeness and combinations of colour were very impressive and left most of us quite envious.

But how good it is to see such creative talent in our ladies section.  Thank you Jo, we really appreciated you bringing in all your lovely work.

Some of the ladies invited friends and we hope they enjoyed our Winter Social and will come again.

LADIES WINTER SOCIALS

On Monday this week these ladies enjoyed making their own ball markers from washers and nail varnish. All were very different and colourful and some had glitter on them to make them more distinctive.  It was again a lovely atmosphere and so good to see so many ladies turning up to have some fun.  Please come along on Monday 22nd January at 10 o'clock if you are free to see the lovely textile work which Jo Stewart will have on display.  Bring a friend(s) if you wish.



This was the course looking beautiful in the snow and sunshine today.

What a splendid day!  Thanks to all who came along to learn from Neil's putting and chipping instructions.

It really was an excellent turnout and all who attended enjoyed the challenge of trying to stop a ball in a circle on the carpet.
