Knitting Day - A Saturday in November
A couple years ago, I organised a knitting day in my village, it started because a bunch of us knitters on another forum that I am a member of, wanted to all get together ...
I would like to start by saying it is nothing like the Ravelry Day (brilliant as it was, even though I was stood outside on a store in the rain), but more your local 'stitch and bitch' but with not so much of the emphasis on the local as all the friends travelled quite a lot of miles
So, this time I am opening this meeting up to all my other forum friends because I am greedy and want to meet you all
What happens:
You come along for the day 10 to 4pm ish (not booked the hall yet), bring your knitting, crochet or even spinning, a small amount of cake and or a few (not packets) biscuits to share at break times.
Cost £5.00 : to cover hall costs.
I will cook lunch at a cost of £5.00. I cook and prepare the food in my own kitchen and the church hall kitchen, just like I would for my own family. Now I would not knowingly give my family food poisoning etc but please be aware that, this is low key and I am just doing for you what I would naturally do for all my friends and not expect to be taken to the cleaners if you did get poorly. The reason for me cooking is quite simple; most of us will have a long day, November can be cold and chilly, so last time, a warm lunch was voted in, to many of us to go to a local pub and we also felt it wasted a lot of knitting time. So that is why I will cook lunch following the successful format of the last meeting.
Menu:
Lasagne - meat and if required a veggie option
Baked Potato - with a separate topping option if you can’t eat the above
Side Salad
Garlic Bread
Now I cook the same for everybody, so there isn't really a choice here but there is if you really do have diet problem, which I am more than happy to cater for, but the church hall and my oven are only small.
Your cake for pudding
Tea and Coffee will be supplied, every one takes turns in making and clearing up, just like at home
I will try and get some yarn and goodies on a Sale or Return basis or if you dye and sell yarn and want to come along please let me know (please pm me) but again this is low key and I only open shop for a maximum of an hour, no need for more as the knitting / chatting and drinking tea are the main activities for the day
Where :
Address and directions :
Wroughton Parish Church Hall
Priors Hill
Wroughton
Wiltshire
SN4 0RT
Train
Swindon train station is approximately 3 miles away, the number 54 bus runs every 20 minutes from the bus station, which is a five minute walk from the train station, ask for High Street, Wroughton, the bus will drop you very near to the hall.
However last time we managed to do a pick up and drop off at the station but I do not want to promise this service.
Car
West (Wales) to Wroughton
M4, J16 2nd exit - Wroughton
First proper left (not a track/drive opposite Blooms nursery) - Wharf Road, Wroughton
Follow to very end, traffic lights turn left
Mini roundabout - 2nd exit (the right turning)
You will see the Victorian Building on your right (which was a school) but now the church hall.
East (London) to Wroughton
M4, J15, 1st exit - Marlborough
Top of hill just before Esso Garage turn right - Chilsedon
Mini Roundabout - turn right
Follow to very end, T junction - turn right
Mini roundabout - straight over
Next roundabout - 1st exit
Mini roundabout - 1 exit
You will see the Victorian Building on your right (which was a school) but now the church hall.
There is limited car parking outside the hall, ever if this is full, go back to the mini roundabout, turn right on to main road, the next left and this brings you into a big car park.
I am waiting for the hall booking office to come back to me and state which Saturday’s are free and nearer the day, I will make a list of meat or veggie lasagne.
Please put your name down if you are interested.
