Successful
Burnham card-making group goes from strength to strength
Why
buy greetings cards when you can make them yourself? That's the
question on the minds of a popular Burnham-On-Sea group which
met over the weekend and is proving that the art of card-making
is alive and well.
 Armed
with scissors and glue, Burnham's Card-Making Group meets every
month in the town council chambers at Jaycroft Road where dozens
of card designs are created over several hours.
"The
meetings are a chane for us to indulge in a whole day's card making
and meet other people who enjoy the same hobby," says Denise
Emery, who oversees the gatherings.
The
group is so popular that its numbers are being restricted. "We
like to keep it a small, focussed group of about 10 people,"
she said. "So anyone who would like to join needs to book
a place in advance."
The
group meets on the third Saturday of each month between 10am and
4pm, except April, and a place costs £10 including kit and
materials. For more details, call 01278 433 449.
