Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there's any interest for a Tuesday morning hand group?
I'm thinking of folk who might have young kids at preschool or school and would prefer a day class rather than late afternoon or evenings?
If you're interested, send me an email and I'll see what I can do 🙂
Id need 4-6 to kick off
Cheers
