02.01.2022 CHRISTMAS BAZAAR CANCELLED The FeltWEST Committee is sorry to announce that the Christmas Bazaar that was to be held on Saturday 5 December has been cancelled. Thank you to all those members who volunteered their time and expertise (we hope you will again), to those enthusiastically felting items for sale, and to felt-lovers who were looking forward to attending the event.... Please know that the idea is still alive and we are looking into other options for 2021. We look forward to letting you know what we have in the pipeline. Warmest regards The FeltWEST Committee
