PAWS April – A Creative Journey

Amanda Sutherland, our Speaker for the evening, arrived carrying several interesting bags and boxes. She then slowly and carefully displayed a very colourful and enticing array of decorated hats, fascinators, wraps and jewellery. Amanda told us that her creative journey began when she was a child at school; she sold her first pieces of jewellery, made from a selection of inner soles, to her Teachers!

PAWS March – AGM & Before and After Beauty

PAWS’ President, Lorraine, opened the AGM with a warm welcome to everyone and checked that no visitors were present.

This was followed by a brief review of the year including

PAWS January – Wildlife in Gardens

Roger Hance - wildlife in gardens — Roger Hance talked about wildlife in gardens

Roger gave some useful tips which can help attract more birds to your garden. Consider Continue reading “PAWS January – Wildlife in Gardens”
