Great start to the New Year of creativity. Lovely lunch was had by many at the Glen Golf Club in North Berwick. The Sew Forth competition was outstanding. Competition entries had to reflect a coastal theme as well as incorporating recycled fabric, plastic, and string. A challenge where everyone showed their creativity.
