The Club welcomes and encourages all who are interested in arts and crafts. We follow a varied programme including practical workshops and demonstrations by guest artists. Meetings are held on Thursdays between October and March, usually in Old Gala House at 7.30. Practical craft workshops are held in St Paul's Church Hall on some Thursday afternoons. There is an annual exhibition of members and invited artists work. For more information please contact the secretary, Neil Wood, on 01896 757583.
