Knit, Natter & Sew Group.
The St Andrew’s ‘Knit, Natter and Sew Group’ commenced in 2007. It has a twofold aim for the ladies of the village – 1) to get to know one another and 2) to make hats, mitts, gloves, scarves, puppets and bags for the ‘Operation Christmas Child’ annual shoebox appeal.
Over the last two years our membership has grown considerably as has the beautiful knitware that the ladies have produced. The shoebox centre was originally at Clare but out grew its location and had to move to a warehouse kindly donated in Bulmer.
Last year (2009) we sent almost 13,000 boxes to children in need throughout Belarus. Several of our ladies gave up their spare time to assist at the warehouse and sincere thanks to all of them.
Our group always welcomes newcomers and if you can’t knit or sew, we will help you!
We meet monthly for just two hours and you will always find the dates posted in the ‘Events’ page. So if you are interested, want to donate materials, or just want to know more, please call Chris Persinger on 01787 237522 for further details.
