Crafting 
I am hoping it will be a lovely day, so that I can set up tables in the summerhouse and garden so that you can bring along all those unfinished kits you bought over the years, and have a day of crafting and chat in the sunshine.
places limited for crafting, so you need to book in.

Lunch
I will be doing afternoon teas in the garden, so need to know who's coming by the 27th of May for catering.
Donations for lunch at your own discretion 
In aid of cancer support.


New card makers very welcome, and this would be the perfect day to pick up ideas and contact information.
If I haven't seen you in a while why not pop in and say hello to all the ladies, about 20 coming so far.
