behind the scenes at An Siopa Bui.Well I have lots and lots of news so Ibest get on!

Join us for a classor a day, or if you really feel like acrafty feast - a whole weekend. Lookahead in the newsletter for all the class-es, I know I fancy a few myself.

We will try and returnto our standard get-togethers are on the secondThursday of the month and the last Tuesday of themonth, but we might make it a bit more often,

depending on the demand.

join the list - send me a text with the words ‘crop list’ to0872048045.Next meetings are:11 August - Thursday Night30 August - Tuesday Night
