Pimms and Needles, which holds activities ranging from chocolate nights and laughter yoga to murder mystery evenings and life drawing, is holding its Barnard Castle launch at The Hub on Thursday, September 7, from 7pm to 9pm, when there will be entertainment and a clothes swish (swap).
The group, a not-for-profit community organisation, was founded by Charlotte Pyrah and Donna Feeney in 2015. It has three existing groups including in Darlington.
An Aycliffe Village group started in April and saw all 70 memberships snapped up in weeks.
“We get messages every week from ladies who want to join us, so we asked on our Facebook page where they wanted so see a new group and Barnard Castle was a very popular choice. We loved the vibrant community feel at The Hub, so it was an ideal choice of venue for us” said Ms Pyrah.
Ms Feeney said feedback from members is that the groups are great for their mental health as well as a being a good way to meet new people.
She added: “We get lots of ladies who join us that are new to the area and want to meet like-minded ladies but we also get groups of friends who are tired of just socialising on nights out and want to try something new and fun.
“Our activities range from more traditional skills such as making hanging baskets, cake decorating and sewing to laughter yoga, murder mystery evenings and life drawing. We love that everyone comes to our groups with an open mind and willing to try something new.”
The new group planned for Barnard Castle will meet each month at The Hub. Further groups to “meet demand” are planned for the Durham, Teesside and North Yorkshire areas in coming months.
