The leather workshops are a great way to use our leather scraps.

Brilliant day lantern making at Calverton Parish rooms. We are back next Friday for the light switch on. Children's lanterns should have dried. We are adding lights and chance to make more willow stars.@GedlingBC @GedlingLeader @NottsCC @Rachael_Notts

Yet again we have had teen visitors to our memory garden. They have now stolen the last of our furniture. 3 visits on CCTV. All gone into the old Gedling school site. We need to discover why and find a solution @NottsCC @GedlingBC @nottspolice @nottslive

@_MiaShepherd What you need is a lantern workshop or 4. The lights need an installer again 😊

Just watching our CCTV and seeing youths throwing our garden furniture over the fence into the old school site. Police have been informed. Second time this week. Will need to access the site @NottsCC to hopefully get some back if it survives their plans. @GedlingEye @nottslive

Just some of the things made today. Still time to join in
