Eastwood & District u3a KnitAid Group is a group of friendly people, who get together and chat whilst completing crafts projects.

We meet at Rumbletums, Kimberley on the 3rd Thursday morning each month from 10.00 am to 12 noon.  The cost is £1.00 per person, which goes towards the room hire.  There is parking nearby.  

We welcome all abilities.  

The knitters have made many items for charity over the years.  Every stitch has been knitted with a lot of chat and laughter.

You don’t necessarily have to knit, we are happy for anyone to work on their own projects.  We welcome anyone who enjoys making things and having fun. For further details please check the newsletter or contact Margaret Naylor.

Some members  went to the Loughborough Town Hall, Sock Exhibition and the Living Threads Exhibition in Long Eaton in March/April.   Previously the group has had trips out to local factories – David Nieper, John Smedley and G H Hurt & Son’s, Chilwell – which have given a fascinating insight into the success of textile manufacturing in the local area – see below.

New members are welcome.

Come and join us.
