Textile Workshop

This evening Liz Lippiatt gave us a glimpse into the world of printed textile design. We weren't quite sure what to expect but were delighted with the results.  Everyone's creations were personal and quite unique.  Liz started her business on her father's farm in Gossington and it was fascinating to see some samples of the wonderful fabric that she produces.

Cheerleading

Our first meeting of 2015 was guaranteed to burn off any excess Christmas calories.  Two young ladies from World Jungle
came to teach us how to become Cheerleaders.  Supplied with  authentic pompoms and plenty of enthusiasm we split into two groups and were taught two different routines, which when perfected we performed together.  The result was surprisingly effective and a good time was had by all.
