UPCOMING WORKSHOPS & ACTIVITIES
Each year we run a series of workshops that are open to members of the group.

cover things such as tutors and materials. Participation in workshops is
optional. If you’re interested in taking part in any of these please speak to
Jenny R at the next meeting. (Non members can book places through
Facebook/Eventbrite. Workshops are added to Facebook/Eventbrite during the year
