I visited Kensworth Art & Craft group to take a few photos and learn more about the group. The group are welcoming and friendly, with plenty of conversation and cups of tea. Several were munching sandwiches while they worked. Organiser, Sonia Aldridge, told me, “We welcome anyone interested in art and craft. Many of us paint in watercolour or acrylic but we also have other craft activities such as beadwork, knitting, needlework and Crystal Art. We meet here every Tuesday from 1 to 4pm and anyone who’d like to join us can call me on 01582 872115 to find out more. We love to see people of all ages. Wheelchair users will find plenty of parking, level access and lots of free space in the hall.
Dog Training at Kensworth Village Hall
The group meets from 18:00 to 20:00 on Wednesday evenings with classes based on the age of your dog. Organiser, Pat Gregory, has many years experience of successfully training dogs (and their owners!) and helping them develop loving, obedient bonds. You can see this in the dogs' faces as they learn to wait quietly whilst their human eats a snack, recall immediately on command, or seek approval for obedience. Pat welcomes dogs of all ages and breeds as you can see here. Each owner & dog receives individual attention as well as taking part in group exercises. For more information please contact Pat on 01582 873614 or email patgregory2023@gmail.com
Kensworth Drop-In (all welcome!)
If you like tea, coffee, biscuits and chocolate in a friendly and fun atmosphere, this might be the place for you! The Thursday drop-in runs from 09:00 to 11:00 and everyone is made welcome. The organiser is Joan Moran, seen here in the first photograph - you can email her at joanmoran6@yahoo.co.uk .
Each Friday morning, Sylvia Inns hosts a community snack & chat drop-in for anyone who fancies a good old natter. The Afternooners evolved from our Winter warm hub and it's so welcoming that we even have regular visitors from neighbouring villages.
