THE  Tarset Sewing Bee will be starting up again on Tuesday, February 23, at Tarset village hall.

Veronica will be running six sessions in which you can learn a range of useful skills (such as making clothes; repairing, remaking and reusing clothes and making curtains and soft furnishings).

There will also be a session on how to understand and use a sewing machine.

All sewing machines and equipment are provided.

Sessions run from 6.30pm to 8.30pm and you can book your place or get more information via email at veronica.ds@outlook.com or by calling (01434) 240680 .

THE next service at Kielder’s Church in Kielder Castle is on Sunday, February 21, at 2.30pm.

You are very welcome to take the children along to the service and there will be light refreshments to follow.

DON'T  forget, the first of the Calvert Trust’s spring activity drop-in days takes place on Sunday and the whole half-term week has a programme of plenty of activities for kids and big kids alike!
