Summer has been very busy for Leominster congregation. The MWA circle listened to a talk from a group called Echo Weavers (www.echoherefordshire.org.uk) who are a local charity and support people living with disability. They demonstrated three different weaving looms and brought a selection of products made on the looms. Our very own Br Kevin Stutchbury proudly showed us how he weaves on the four- shuttle loom, one of the most complicated looms!
Then in August we held a Summer Garden Party. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good to us, so we set everything up in the church and had a wonderful day. The
Mayor of Leominster visited us and
officially opened the Garden Party. There were many stalls but the most popular
was the bottle stall! Refreshments and toasted fruit teacakes were on sale in the hall.
All Spring the members of Busy Fingers, our weekly craft group, have been knitting and crocheting flowers for the Leominster in Bloom projects. They made approximately 150 flowers and as a thank you for their hard work were invited to a special ceremony. Leominster in Bloom were awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, the community equivalent of an MBE. The presentation was made by Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire, The Dowager Countess of Darnley, Srs Joy Owens, Glynis Ashfield and Lorraine Shorten were very proud to be invited. This was a well-deserved thank you for the commitment and contribution Busy Fingers has made to the
