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. We knit whatever’s needed for local and national charities and send lots of things to Ukraine. We also enjoy coffee (sometimes cake) and a chat .…. and we
could do with a few new members!

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.

Recent outingf included the Loughborough Town Hall, Sock Exhibition and the Living Threads Exhibition in Long Eaton. Other trips undertaken have been 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.

New members are welcome.

Come and join us.
