At the end of November we had a talk by Pamela Emmerson. She came to give us an update on The Northern Ireland Big Sock Challenge.

Some of these hexagons have been sewn by the ladies in our group, but there is still a long way to go.

In November we had our annual Bring and Buy sale. Lots of lovely work by the ladies and all for sale just in time for Christmas.

Our Charity for 20 17 was Daisy Lodge where they provide respite care for children with cancer and their families.   A number of ladies travelled there to present the cheque and were made very welcome with a tour of the facility and lunch.
