Small change to our felting day dates due to hall availability issues.  (The September 27th felting day has been replaced by August 27th).  Note also the date for our Exhibition at Halswell library.  There is not much display space at the new library so at this stage we are thinking of an exhibition of selected pieces.

Saturday 13 February 2016               Felting day
Saturday 19 March 2016                   Felting day
Wednesday 30 Mar to Sun 17 Apr    Exhibition at Halswell Library
