Knitting Bee

I have decided to cancel this Friday’s Knitting Bee as the Hall is being set up for the Christmas Market Tour. Also, the kitchen will be busy prepping for the lunch on Sat. 

We will resume the following Friday the 10th Dec. 

Look forward to seeing you all there then. 

Cheers,

 Helen

Share a Ride for the Christmas Tour

Just had a lovely couple contact me from Chemainus and they are wondering if anyone on Thetis is willing to drive them around the Christmas Tour. They have a service dog so extra room is needed. If you can accommodate them I will get their number so you can talk directly to them.
thanks
