If you’re interested in crafts and want to learn some new skills then the friendly monthly Crafty Ladies group at the Washburn Heritage Centre at Fewston church is for you.
I’ve been a member for a couple of years, didn’t know anyone when I joined, and I’ve made new friends and really enjoyed it.
Meeting on the last Saturday of the month from 9.30am-noon, members of all ages come from as far afield as York, Harrogate and Otley as well as from the parish of Fewston and outlying farms.
If you have your own projects to work on – a number of members do needlework – then you can bring that if you prefer.
Several of the girls, including me, also volunteer in the Heritage Centre.
There are so many things going on down at Fewston that it’s worth a trip out to see the ever-changing exhibitions and we also do lunches and teas several weekends a month, as well as a community lunch.
See the Heritage Centre website for details of when the tearoom is open and make a point of calling in if you’re doing a reservoir walk.
