SPINNING DAYS
Spinning days are at various member’s homes and community locations in the Niagara Region on the last Saturday of the month. Spinning days are informal social gatherings, which allow members to share their interests and experience. You do not have to be a spinner to attend – just bring any other handwork and join in the talk. From time to time, members offer mini workshops on a spinning topic. Spinning days run from 10 AM until 2 PM unless noted otherwise. Be sure to pack a lunch!
