We do not have any lessons during July and August due to members
and tutors going on their Annual Holiday. Or December - need time for
Christmas shopping.
We also have a library display in one of our local Libraries in Rushden, Northamptonshire
all through December 2023. This is always well received and the theme will be Christmas but
may contain other items too to fill the shelves.
