This clashes with our next felting day June 9th but I'm happy to advertise it anyway.  Hoping to see everyone at our felting day though.

Woolfun Day
June 9, Saturday any time between 10.15 am and 4 pm

Come and sit by the fire and enjoy a relaxing day working with wool with like-minded people in a small group. Coffee and tea provided. Bring your lunch and your "crafty" project.
Bergli Farm at 265 Charteris Bay Rd, Teddington.  For information ring Rowena on 3299118 or 0274-829-410
