CHAIRMAN Jenny Johnson warmly welcomed members to the November meeting.

A most interesting hobbies and activities evening was held which included the many talents, skills and interests of members.

These were displayed and demonstrated including splitcane, pottery, painting, photography, needlework, crochet, decoupage, genealogy, choir singing and speech, bowls and a collection of beautiful ealachite stones.

The do's and don'ts of gardening was the subject of nurseryman Ken Whittaker and through his terrific sense of humour and great passion for plants, he passed on many useful tips.

Members provided delicious lunches and refreshments at the recent Victorian Christmas Fayre.
