2024 – 2025 has been a year of ups and downs, comings and goings and steep, steep learning curves. 

Thank you to everyone who has stepped up and helped. 

In August we had a visit from Minister Jackie Wright, President of the SNU and, despite the weather, we did manage to have a Christmas Fayre. 

2025 has kicked off with a brilliant weekend with the fabulous Pietro Politano.  For those who were unable to come, he will be back next year. 

Later this year we have workshops with Phillip Rossell and Lee Roberts coming up and Summer and Autumn Fayres. 

Many thanks to all those who have come forward to help out.
