Cootamundra & Temora Hub Visit

Tuesday 29th November, Cootamundra Hub crew visited Temora. It was a fun day, Wendy taught everyone how to crochet. A sunflower growing challenge has commenced between the two groups. We all enjoyed a McDonalds Lunch and watched How To Lose A Guy In 10 days.

It was a fabulous day. New friends were made and skills learnt. A HUGE thank you to Wendy Sprang (Cootamundra Hub) for organising the event.
