                                          Glevum Wi has had a busy time leading up to Christmas  and are                                                                looking forward to 2025 which is our

                                                               50th Anniversary !

We decided we would like to learn a bit more about making a Christmas Wreath,

 Luckily Doreen, one of our members was well practised, so last week 15 ladies were ready and willing to greate some master pieces. We had  fun deciding how and what to put on the wreaths, Some were very traditional others more modern. With a  cup of tea and some lovely cakes made by the commitee the morning was very sucessful.

These are some of the photos showing some very proud Glevum members with their creations.

I think this might be a yearly event.!!!

Program 2025

              Hello Everyone!
