Craft Club Dates

Craft Club Meeting Dates

The Craft Club meets on alternate Thursday afternoons at Sandford Village Hall, from 2.00pm until 4.00pm.

As you know we meet in the Village Hall on alternate Thursdays and we would be delighted if you are not a crafter but just want to come along for a cuppa and a chat.  We like to relax and put the world to rights, but it is a Brexit free zone, you will be pleased to know.

If you fancy trying knitting or crochet for the first time or you have become a bit rusty we all help each other and you would be welcome.  There is room to get additional tables out for any artists among you if you want to paint or draw.

January Book Club

We had a long discussion about the novel  chosen by Wendy  which was entitled The Lightkeepers Daughter by Jean Pendziwol. It was about two daughters  Elizabeth and Emily who grew up in a lighthouse on windswept Lake Superior. We all agreed it was a superbly written story and gave us much food for thought.

Our next novel chosen by Denise is Wonder by R J Palacio. it is based on a true story about a boy named August who was born with a severe facial disfigurement. We will be meeting on Monday 4th March  at Viv's  this time.
