I hope that everyone has had a great month and that you are all ready for our next get together which is the Christmas Fuddle. Could everyone coming along bring a little something for everyone to have a nibble at, a packet of biscuits, homemade cake, a bag of sweets etc. I will along some throw away plates and some serviettes.

Date and Times
Derby Dabblers have their next get together Friday, 2nd December from 6.30 - 9.30p.m.
Venue
St. Martins Church Hall, Flint Street, Allenton, Derby DE24 9BG. If you need directions, please let me know.
Theme for the evening
The theme for this week is a free for all. Well what I mean is that you can bring along anything that you wish to do. If you dont fancy doing any crafting at all, just come for a cuppa and a natter.
Other crafts
Dont forget, you dont have to do card making or scrapbooking to join in the fun of Derby Dabblers. If you knit, make jewlery, crochet or anything else please feel free to come along chat to everyone there whilst doing the craftting of your choice.
Price
The price for the evening will be £3.00 for adults and £2.00 for teenages.
Show and Tell
Please bring along any cards or scrapbook pages or anything else that you may have done recently as everyone loves to look at what has been created but, be warned, you may need to tell everyone how you made it.
For Sale or For Swap
If you have any crafting items that you wish to sell or swap for something else, you are most welcome to bring them along to see if anyone on the night may want to purchase/swap with you.
Freebies
If you have any items that you no longer use and they are taking up valuable space in your crafting area, please bring them with you on Friday night. There will be a FREEBIES table where you can put your unwanted items and I am sure that there will be others there that may be able to use them. If you know of a local school/nursery or charity that may make use of anything left on the table at the end of the evening, you will be welcome to take them along.

There wont be a get together in January as the hall is always booked out for the Drama Group so this will be our last get together for 8 weeks. It would be really great if you could come along, even for an hour to say hello to everyone and its a great opportunity to pass on Christmas cards.

We usually have a secret santa but that wont be happening this year but, as mentioned above, if you have anything you dont use anymore, please feel free to bring it along and pass it on to someone who may be able to use it.

I have had a word with the caretaker of the Church Hall and she has told me that there is a problem with the light outside the entrance door. I shall bring a torch with me on Friday as it is very dark, if you want to bring one too, please do. I am hoping it will still be light enough when we all arrive and I am happy to walk people to their cars at the end of the night, with my torch, that will scare the kids. I have also been shown how to turn the heating up.

If you are thinking of coming along for the first time please do come and join us. It is a wonderful social evening, everyone is very welcoming and I am sure you will have a great night.

Please feel free to bring a friend or two with you next week and dont forget MUGS and BADGES.

If you have a problem opening this email, please let me know so that I can send it to you in another format, I wouldnt want you to miss out on anything.

It would really be appreciated if you can let me know if you will be coming along to this get together so that we know how many we are catering for.

Hope to hear from you soon
