Friday 7th July was our fifth open day, and our official crowdfunder launch.

It was pretty great! There were 22 attendees, plus the usual gentle, friendly vibes. We raised over £800 on the crowdfunder by the end of the open day, and we took about £100 in cash donations, bank transfers, and PayPal donations.

The 3D printer was a hit, several fidgets found new homes, and lots of people chose favourite farm animals and held them in their hands 15 minutes later. Christine got the sewing machine to do a great array of patterned stitches, and also sewed a fabric patchwork coaster. Other activities included badge-making, digital art, knitting, wood-carving, and screen-printing.

And we made it into the Cambrian News!

The crowdfunder is now over £1,100, and we have scheduled our next open day for Friday 11th August 2023, 3-6pm, at the Bowling Club. You can find more details on our calendar page here, and there’s a Facebook event here.
