Linskill’s Community Grapevine – 8 December 2023
Thank you to everyone who came to our first Community Programme Christmas Fair. Every penny raised from sales will go back into our community programme. Our amazing volunteers need a special mention too – they made, sold, demonstrated and helped out on the day – without them it wouldn’t be possible. Finally, we raised £150 from the Tombola, with all proceeds going to Support and Grow North East.
Before you get your 2024 diary out, grab a cuppa and enjoy the latest short story from Susan McManus called ‘Feng Shui’. Susan is part of our creative writers group The Scribblers.
TAKE NOTICE – Film Club
The Lost King is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country’s most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England’s history.
engAGE is funded for people aged 55+

KEEP LEARNING- Get to grips with an overlocker
If you have an overlocker tucked away, too scared to use it, or are interested in what they can do, join Kim who will demystify these fabulous machines.
This workshop is suitable for beginners, new to overlocking, and you will leave more confident to have a go at home with a written handout as an aide memoire.
All adults welcome – please use the booking link below.
