How it all works
You can join us as a member by filling in the “Reserve my Place” link below, its a £13.50 upfront payment, then £13.50 per month for as long as you ‘d like to be a member, when you decide to leave simply give us 30 days notice and we will cancel all future payments and you will come to your last session for free (as you have already paid at the beginning)
You can also join us as a guest to see what you think, or if you want to just come now and again! The “Guest Place” link is below and its £17.50 per session, if this is not available its because the group is full
Both options include all of the materials you will need for the sessions along with Tea & Coffee
The group is very friendly, you’re welcome to come with friends or on your own! We have flying solo tables for anyone alone, so you won’t be on your own for very long!

Membership Registration
Group Host: Helen Martin
1. How long have you been a member of Pimm’s & Needles and why did you want to host a group? I joined the group at Coxhoe 4 – 5 years ago, having heard about Pimms & Needles from some of the girls at work. I was keen to help bring ‘the joy of Pimm’s & Needles’ to our new community centre in Neville’s Cross so volunteered to be the host.
2. What do you like best about the groups? I love the opportunity to try new crafts and have fun with like minded ladies, and some ringfenced ‘me time’ every month.
3. What do you generally dislike? Not having enough hours in the day!
4. What would be your perfect day? That is a really difficult question! Would it be possible to combine the sea, countryside, friends, family, laughing lots, chocolate & cake?
5. What sweet treat do you love? Chocolate, any form ( hot, dark, milk, white etc.) and I love cheap white mice which I don’t think have any real chocolate in them at all!
6. Your favourite Pimm’s & Needles activity that you have done before? Painted ducks, I would like to create a flock!
7. Interesting or little known fact about you? I have been a backing singer for Jane Mcdonald! (Admittedly with lots of other people forming a choir, it was not just me & Jane!).
