October newsletter
Here we go, countdown to Christmas! Where on earth does the time go? Hope you all know how to swim with all this water.
I attended the Northcourt Centre Committee Meeting recently. There are several plans to refurbish the building – some double glazing and new fire exits to start with. Like any building there is always something that needs doing.
Another person is needed to go to these meetings please. The next date is date is Wednesday 4 December at 6.30 pm.
We had a well-attended September meeting with two visitors, Christine and Karen. The talk about medical detection dogs was deeply moving. Let’s hope more and more dogs can be trained to help those in need.
If you like knitting or sewing, we have several ongoing projects for charity. “Fish and chip” jumpers, baby blankets, twiddlemuffs, hats for the homeless and syringe bags. A large amount of assorted wool has come our way so there is no need to buy any.
