Hello bloggers, forgive me, but I haven’t blogged for ages and I’m now on a bit of a catch up!
April was the month to “do something arty” and we teamed up with orgaisation members the Lakeside Arts Centre who offered us a Gallery Tour and a Mono Printing Workshop.
I went along to the gallery tour which was fascinating. Ruth showed us around the whole building, giving us some interesting info about it’s history and we got to meet the artist in residence and have alook at her work. The tour finished with a look at the exhibition of American prints, Reuben, our smallest visitor snored all the way through that bit, which gave us all a giggle.
The mono printing workshop on the Friday was attended by several members who really enjoyed themselves and produced some very interesting results. Thankyou to Ruth who organised this for us.
The Lakeside is a fab place for a day out, there are the galleries and cafe. Plus a playpark, lots of paths and gardens to meander through, ducks to feed and boats to row on the lake.

found out that one of our Organisation members, The Bridge Centre, were looking for volunteers he was keen to get involved. The Bridge Centre is open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and serves very reasonably priced meals and has a children’s play area and a second hand clothes, book and bric a brac stall.
No one can talk about the Skills Exchange better than our members, so it was great that Lynne and Lucy were able to help out on our stall at the recent International Women’s Health Day at the Vine Community Centre. This was a very busy event open to Women only and we had a lot of interest in the Skills Exchange.
We had an information stall at the Great Spring Sowing this Sunday. The event was promoting the fact that it’s now Spring and prime time to be planting those seeds and growing veggies, flowers, whatever you fancy!
newsletter, will know that March is the month to get gardening! We’ve promoted all sorts of ways to get involved. One of which was to come along to the Skills Exchange Offices on 14th March and help clear the courtyard.
