The group has tried various crafts over the years - pressed flower cards, embroidery, knitting, decoupage, papercraft and more.
We have made Christmas decorations, the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, commemorated a Diamond Jubilee and a Coronation and contributed to the Yarn bombing in the town and decorated Christmas trees in St Oswald's Church on behalf of u3a
There is easy access to the Wyaston Centre for wheel chair users.
