Past Activities

Some of our meetings and activities. If you are a member we would appreciate some news, and photos if possible, of any interesting LETS activities.


Above: We held a Flea Market and Jumble Sale at Washford Village Hall. The photos were taken before the doors opened as the photographer was too busy selling things after it opened!
