  • 8 darkgate is ace for arty stuff and sewing stuff, very friendly
  • Community Crafts by the library has loads of bits and pieces&the women in there are really nice. DO NOT go to the craft shop that's opposite Partners - the women in there are evil and must be destroyed.

  • The recent Exhibiton of "old & new " photo's at the library in connection with the civic society was outstanding . Congrats to the collector of the originals and also to Martin Walters for the new pictures , if you can locate another venue for this it is well worth a look . Definately for the "culture vulture"
