Hi Ladies
Tuesday’s meeting
is our
“SUMMER SOCIAL”.

22/07/2026

Last nights meeting of Barlaston Herons WI saw us all enjoying a crafting session of embroidering on wood … a first for most of us. It was led by our Speaker Maggie who owns “Embroidery on Wood”.

Hello Ladies. At our regular monthly meeting on Tuesday 21st July we are having a CRAFTING session. We have chosen a basic design on which to stitch into pre drilled holes … it is user friendly and suitable for absolute beginners. As some of our more experienced crafters may enjoy something a little more complicated you can bring some cash along to upgrade your kit … if you wish to do so. There will also be an opportunity to buy a selection of kits. Looking forward to seeing you all.

PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR COFFEE/TEA MUGS 👍

This evening 14 members of Barlaston Herons visited the Garden Cinema in Blurton to watch the new Downton Abbey film. The replica 1930s Cinema, hidden away at the bottom of owner Andy's garden was built by himself because he always wanted to own a cinema. He rents it out for private events and gives all proceeds to charity. There was even popcorn!
