“The Christmas Giving Tree we have at the Centre is for the Salvation Army which distributes the gifts to local families in need,” Janette Coppock told News Of The Area.

“Any form of gift, for all ages would be appreciated.”

“They don’t need to be wrapped, just dropped into the Centre any day between 10am and 4pm.”

Donations can be made up until Thursday 6 December.

It’s been a busy time for the Art and Craft centre members, who recently held their annual Open Day to show off their skills and the Centre’s many and varied facilities.

It’s a veritable ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ for those wanting to learn a new skill or create a work of art.

As an example said Janette Coppock, “The Centre has a fully equipped woodwork room with several wood turning lathes as well as a carpentry workshop.”

“There are several long term members able to assist any new members wishing to have a go.”

“Whether it be turning a wooden bowl or doing a few ‘handyman jobs’ everyone is welcome.”

“The wood turning group already has a few ladies exploring the art of woodturning,” Ms Coppock said.
