Neil and Pamela Millard made us very welcome and they laid on tea and cake which was delicious.

We all admired the garden and £174.00 was raised which will go to the Brixham Medical & Humanitarian AidConvoy to Ukraine
Block Printing
A few members of S I Brixham met at Presidents Jane’s home to try their hand at block printing.
After a lesson by our experts Anne and Jane we set about creating our own material squares.

When complete the squares will be joined together to make a fleece lined throw which will then be raffled to raise funds for one of our charities.
It was a very enjoyable morning and we had a lot of fun and laughter.
