Team Leader: Bev Stuart

OCTOBER
It’s October and we are all thinking of hibernating for the winter, but please don’t as there are plenty of events to enjoy over the winter. The ever-popular Murder Mystery is next month where you are the detective. This is at Southwell Library with a light buffet and prizes for the winning team. In December we are having “A Christmas Celebration” in the beautiful St John’s Church at Carlton in Lindrick.
In 2026 we have a great programme of craft workshops lined up for you including rug making, crochet and watercolour. Also, on our “to do” list is another great visit to John Lewis and a guided tour around the Nottingham Lace Market area.
Please contact us by email bevstuart@nottswi.org.uk if there’s anything you particularly enjoyed and we will see if it can be repeated. Bev Stuart, the Creative Activities Team
SEPTEMBER
Well, it’s September already, hasn’t Summer been great? It’s lasted so long this year giving us plenty of time in the garden and for days out with family, but sadly it’s coming to an end. I’ve enjoyed my days in the garden and the greenhouse but now it’s back to work for the Creative Activities Team and we need to get our thinking hats on for a full programme of interesting events and activities for next year.
There’s already a lot of events in the pipeline so look out for them! There’s Steelpan Drumming at the end of this month, Visoodling (doodling with watercolour) in October, and in December the ever-popular Murder Mystery, where you play detective and our Celebration of Christmas.
Please contact us by email admin@nottswi,org.uk if there’s anything you particularly enjoyed and would like repeated or for new events you would like us to consider. Our Team meets every month alternating between online and in person meetings, so contact the office on secretary@nottswi.org.uk for an invitation to join in on a meeting and tell us what you would like in person.
AUGUST
Isn’t summer wonderful? We can sit out in the garden and relax, it’s just great. But don’t relax too much because we have a full programme planned for the next six months with Steelpan drumming, Visoodling (doodling with watercolour), the ever popular Murder Mystery (where you are the detective), a Christmas celebration and much more in the pipeline.
Please let us know of any new event topics you would like us to offer, or past events you would like to see repeated. Better still, join us and tell us in person, we meet every month in person and online alternate months. Contact the office for an invitation and we will be pleased to meet you.
