At Preston Road Community Centre on Saturday there was the fifth annual Lace Day, organised by the Abbey Meadow Lace Makers who meet at the centre.

As well as the lace making, there was a plentiful supply of cakes and tea and coffee, a raffle and tombola. There were also bobbins, pins and hooks, thread, and patterns for sale from a couple of specialist suppliers.

The lace makers meet normally on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 9.30 am until 3.30 pm. Expert advice was on hand.
