This group is open to both Defence and non-Defence families.  We provide a friendly atmosphere for individuals to come and relax, meet new people, share ideas, and create handmade crafts.

Meetings are held at the Centre weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30am to 12:30pm, and on the first Saturday of the month for ALL DAY CRAFT from 9:30am (during the ACT school terms).

Additional costs may be incurred to use the Quilting Machine, Cricut Machine, and specific material/haberdashery.
