We thank everyone who helped Rudi enjoy Christmas and make lots of new friends.
He received £10.00 in donations which we will match giving us £20.00 to replenish spring bulbs in the the main village notice board for everyone to enjoy.
Pictures of all Rudi’s adventures are available to view in the village hall.
Thankyou
A rare opportunity to learn about the fascinating art of corn dolly making.
The very talented Sue Tomkins will give a brief history of corn dollies, and a bit about straw preparation, before guiding us through actually making our own.
With Valentine’s Day ahead we will start with a Compass Plait Heart then have a go at either a Welsh Border Fan or Glory Braid/Diamond Plait. Depending how we get on there may be time for more…
There will, of course, be the usual light refreshments, and time for questions.
Book early to get a place on this highly unusual workshop and keep up the interest in this ancient skill.

There is a choice of colours which need to be pre-ordered when booking.
Booking online is easy – there you will be able to indicate your chosen colour.
