Crafters & Knitters
Each Wednesday this group bring their personal projects to work on in a social group. There is lots of chatting, each person is willing to share their knowledge and skills onto others or just give a bit of help if you are caught in a pickle.
Some knit, other crotchet. We have a person who spins wool and others that embroider. There is even a couple of people who just enjoy sitting, chatting and admiring what others are doing!
This group have started a tradition of hand-making the ANZAC Day wreath the Armidale Care for Seniors Inc. lays each ANZAC Day service.

Cards and Game Players
Samba, RummiKub, Phase 10, Euchre and 500 seem to be the favorites among the card players, and the board gamers play a variety of games including Cleudo, Snakes and Ladders, Guess Who, Trivial Pursuit, Sequence and Uno. If you like to have fun, learn to play a new game or teach some other to play something new, then this is for you. The most important thing to remember with this group is that is is more about the fun and socialising than winning - it is in no way competitive or to be taken too seriously.
Some games require certain numbers to be able to play.
