And so to our last speaker of the season and it is fair to say we had someone who seems to be creative on a 24/7 basis! We were delighted to welcome Barbie Lindsay MPAGB FBPE EFIAPs AWPF and it was clear from the outset that this lady was extremely adept at making her...
A group of members gathered on the evening of 2 June, to take advantage of the anticipated sunset visible across the ponds in Carshalton, and to celebrate the easing of lockdown restrictions that have limited our ability to meet this year. Whilst our group arrived for...
Love it or loathe it the PDI of the Year Competition is the culmination of the year’s round of club competitions. The level playing field where those in the Standard section can pit their best efforts against the Advanced and show them what they’re made of. And so it...
