ARTS AND CRAFTS SOCIETY: The society met on November 12 at the Townsend Hall and was very well attended with several visitors. The programme for next year was announced and promises much to enjoy, as usual, social events and surprises are on the agenda.

The guest speaker, David Hiscock is well known to members and, no doubt, helped to swell numbers for this meeting.

There was immense interest from start to finish for artists and non-artists alike and Barbara Flexen thanked David for a most enjoyable talk.
