The QGI Northern Lights group meets at Bleary Farmers` Hall, 26 Upper Ballydugan Rd, Portadown, Craigavon BT63 5NU. Directions and Link to Googlemap below.
General Information
Our group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, 7.00 – 9.30 p.m. from September to May, (excluding December and January.)
We organise all-day Saturday workshops, usually one in autumn and one in spring.
‘Sewing Saturdays` are popular. Usually held in January, Members bring their own projects along to get on with. Also, usually a week or so after the QGI Conference, we have another, so that we can continue whatever project we started there.
The February meeting is a `Come & Try` night when 5 or 6 members demonstrate a technique or hold quick mini workshops. 3rd Tuesdays might shift if Easter or other holiday gets in the way.
