We usually have a speaker or a short teaching or sewing session, a fabric stall, a raffle and sometimes a bring and buy. Previous speakers have included Sandie Lush, Fenella Davies, Jackie Taylor, Jan Hassard and Sally-Ann Boyd.

We have a large library of books and some videos, available free on loan to members. Other membership benefits include a Quarterly Newsletter
