ON a mild January evening new president Christine Grant welcomed members to the first meeting of the year.

There were invitations from Whittington and Broomhall and also a federation visit to Denman College in October.

Members' craft evening was the theme for the meeting which was well supported. Many different crafts were on show, knitted scarfs in the latest fashion wool, knitted Tom and Gerry, cross stitch, hand painted table cloth and runner, several lovely examples of patchwork and a lovely duvet cover.
