Members of the Melksham Townswomen’s Guild got into the festive spirit this month by making Christmas wreaths, as they aim to recruit new members.
The group’s chairman, Tricia Hoy, said, “One member was a bit concerned about managing tricky greenery onto a hoop, but no! Linda McCloud had prepared many strips of colourful material to knot around a wooden hoop, so no sore fingers – just beautiful finished wreaths ready to decorate our homes next month!”
Tricia also highlighted that, due to low membership numbers, the group faces the possibility of closure. “We need to recruit new members to keep our group going,” she explained. “We meet on the second Friday of each month at 2pm and are a very friendly group. Our speakers cover a wide range of topics, and we all enjoy a good natter over a cup of tea.”
The group’s next meeting will be their Christmas party on 13th December at 1pm, held at St Anthony’s Church Hall, West End, Melksham, SN12 6HJ.
