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.

JULY

We’re half-way through the year already and this month it’s the John Lewis with Liz Earle event which I’m really looking forward to although it will already have taken place by the time most of you read this! Steelpan Drumming should have taken place this month but unfortunately, due to a family event, the tutor has had to postpone the event until September. If you had booked for the drumming session, the office will already have been in touch with you so please check your emails (look in your junk box in case it has gone in there) for further information.

JUNE

This month it’s the Federation Day & Annual Meeting on Saturday 14 June. I am looking forward to that, with the workshops in the morning and then, with competitions, stalls and a speaker there’s a lot for members to participate in. It’s been quite a challenge to organise but now all we can do is cross our fingers and hope for a smooth day.

Other events happening soon include Steelpan Drumming on Saturday 5 July, taking place at Hucknall Central Methodist Hall. Then a Liz Earle face care demonstration at John Lewis on Thursday 10 July, this was an excellent event last year and we expect it to be similar this year.

I should like to thank members for attending the Creative Activities’ Team events and taking part in the workshops we have organised for you. Our team have done a great job – thank you very much for your help and support over the last year.
