Firstly let me thank Miguel for running this Website. Without him working in the background we would not have a window into the work that TOG does week after week. Thanks Miguel from all of us.

Thanks to Jennifer for feeding us so well and both Jennifer and Ann to let us have the freedom to run this group in a very open and relaxed way.

Hope it's not too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year. We had a great time in 2015. Jennifer's Watercolour Classes have been well attended. The Gallery is filling up with some amazing pieces of art.

This weeks Art below....

Lots of people helped out taking the Craft Classes in 2015. Thank-you so much to Naresh, Elaine, Hema, David, Nicola, Hansa and Lisa. We also had a guest helper Dorethea who helped make some great Christmas decorations..........

Crafts included Glass Painting...Calligraphy...Painting on Porcelain....Book Folding Techniques....Bead Making and Pendants from Premo Clay....Gourmet Bird Cakes...Fabric Printing etc etc... It was great fun every week coming in to try out all these crafts. We hope to do a lot more creative stuff this year. If anybody wants to pass on a skill and would like to take a class please let me ( Patricia ) know, I am sure we can arrange something.

We did a Calligraphy Workshop this week.....

The Poetry Group still get together every week in the Reception area away from any distraction in the Main Social Room. Anyone wanting to join the group please feel free to do so. No charge!!!

Marilyn's Jewellery Class is also well attended every week. Sometimes expert Liz comes to help out. Again please take a look at the Gallery where many pieces are displayed.

Look at these two so engaged in their work.....

And below Marilyn having a well deserved break.

Besides this Rena is always on hand with the sewing machine. I think she has trained our Caretaker to be a fine seamstress. He just can't keep away from our Sewing Machine.... even borrows it now and again.

Nicola also got a knitting Circle together. A number of us joined her to knit squares for a blanket ( we are getting there ).

And 3.30pm every week on the dot Angie comes along with her Dance and Exercise Class. Wow!!!!

And if that's not enough.... this year we will be starting a beginners Ukulele Group. We will be holding workshops at TOG.....and a Munch & Mingle group. Keep a look out for further information about these two new ventures...... I am gonna grab myself a cuppa now.
