Tonight Rob and James were at Theatre Severn for the Shoop Shoop Show. They did Believe and got to meet Cher for a cheeky photo. Rob said if only he could turn back time and see the show again he would while James was Strong Enough to resist. 😆😎

We’d like to say a massive thank you to the crafty knitters who have knitted us some wonderful teddies that we can give out to paediatric patients to help them calm down during treatment. We are also delighted that we now have a Bertie Badger mascot courtesy of the crafty knitters!

🧶✨ Crafty Knitters Welcome St John Ambulance to Collect Bertie ✨🚑

Oswestry’s Crafty Knitters recently welcomed St John Ambulance to collect their mascot Bertie, who was lovingly created especially for them.

A special mention goes to talented Crafty Knitter Gill Scott Forest, who did an incredible job knitting Bertie and bringing the mascot to life. 👏🧵

The group continues to show its creativity and community spirit through projects like this, supporting organisations and bringing people together through their love of knitting.

Crafty Knitters meet once a month and always welcome new members to their friendly group.

📅 Next meeting: Monday 13th April

If you would like to get involved or find out more, please contact Angie Mills on 01691 650147.

🧶 New members are always welcome.
