The Speaker for the a6ernoon was Val Mackin who stepped in at the last minute due to a cancellation. Val is a familiar face in the village having lived on a narrow boat on the canal for the past 8 years.
Val gave a very interesting talk on her craft making, starting with the history of sheep's wool, the process of spinning the wool to make the yarn for weaving, knitting etc. she also showed us many other handicrafts she had made from natural materials gathered along the canal and hedgerows. She had even made a shawl spun out of dog hair!
She was thanked by Susan Kaufman.
