Christmas Decorations Event – Pictures
The Friends of Griffin Wood would like to thank everybody who attended our ‘making Christmas decorations from natural materials’ event which was organised in collaboration with Paul Bamber of Access To Nature – TMF.
The first minibus attending came with ‘Up Ponky’ – a creative over fifties group who meet at the LEAF Centre, Chester Lane. They bravely arrived during the morning when we had torrential rain. Others attending during the day included. Ali a trainer with the Expert Patient Programme (EPP) and member of the Health Improvement Team. The EPP held a get together in Griffin Wood earlier in the year and are looking forward to other events.
Others who arrived and enjoyed themselves had links with ‘Women Supporting Women’ whom we will be working with in the new year and some members of other Friends groups – Bob and Kelly – who came to support the event. Congrats must go to Reg who Won the largest wreath competition and Declan! who was a great help with his added enthusiasm. Unfortunatly we had a few cancellations due to the weather, which started off wet but soon brightened up, but stayed cold.
A special thanks must go to our artist for the day Andrea (Kelly-Lansley). Who didnt seem to stop for the whole day, possibly to keep warm.
