Despite the dreadful weather it was lovely to see so many current members and to welcome new members to our Festive Jolly on Saturday.
The morning started with a welcome drink and nibbles and a toast to winning best in show at All Saints’ Parish Church, Leamington, Christmas Tree Festival (see previous blog). We then participated in a festive quiz set by Sue. I’m sure this gets harder every year! We joined in with a rendition of the Scottish version of The Twelve Days of Christmas, thank you Judi, Secret Santa, and sharing Christmas makes. This was followed by a splendid Bring-and-Share lunch.
In the afternoon our Members Day organisers, Judi and Wendy guided us through making a variety of Christmas decorations using Suffolk puffs
We started with tables like this!………..
….and transformed materials to making trees, bells, garlands, choristers and more
It was a lovely day to begin the festive celebrations.
We hope to see more examples of completed Suffolk Puff decorations here or on our WhatsApp or Instagram pages.
