AUTUMN has arrived and Christmas is coming. This was brought home to members on Thursday, October 15, when Monica Carden gave a demonstration on Christmas decoration.

Everyone was given the necessary components to create their own beautiful decoration.

Mrs Carden began by showing us how to make the decoration in the form of a large cracker. She made the afternoon very entertaining.

Members were also shown how to make a decorative lantern out of a plastic bottle and given the materials to make one at home.
