Linskill Community Development Team Community Grapevine Newsletter – 17 October 2021
It’s been another busy few weeks for us – we’ve ran bike rides, hosted the Ouseburn Trust who delivered an insightful talk about the Victoria Tunnel and we have been helping some beginners learn to crochet.
With the festive season fast approaching we have a special cards and gift tag workshop to help you get ahead. But if you aren’t ready for Christmas yet, don’t worry. Why not enjoy a film or listen to local artist Clare Money talk about her inspirations?
STAY ACTIVE
We have limited places for Dr Bike at Battle Hill on Tuesday 19th October.
As always, booking is essential via the link below.
Please note, Dr Bike, can fix a lot of issues but he cannot rebuild a whole bike and he doesn’t carry every spare part.
Battle Hill – Tuesday 19th October (10:00 – 12:00 bike drop off)
