One thousand poppies sold
THE Coal Creek Spinners have sold nearly 1000 poppies to raise money for an Anzac display at Coal Creek, Korumburra.
“The money is going towards an information board to go in the Anzac Room,” spinners president Christine Heward said.
The information board will sit alongside an existing photographic display so people can trace the stories of the men who went to World War One.
The spinners enjoy their craft and get satisfaction from raising money for the project, spinner Noelle Walker said.
“It’s good doing something for the local area,” she said.
The Coal Creek Spinners committee meets at 10.30am on the first Monday of the month in the Radovick Room and Coal Creek. All members are welcome to attend.
Membership fees are $7 per year. New members are welcome.
Learning days take place monthly from 10.30am in the Spinners’ Hut at Coal Creek.
The sessions are free for members and $10 for non members, plus any material costs.
Upcoming topics are cold water dyeing on April 21, felting from a fleece on May 19, weaving using a simple loom on June 16 and crochet for beginners on July 21.
