Welcome in the New Year with Largs SWI
Largs SWI New Year Calendar
Come along to our meetings!
Largs SWI have now signed off for 2024 following our hugely successful Craft Fayre and December meet-up.
We are now looking forward to January's Swish night. If this is new to you, you bring along some clothing items or accessories (bags, belts, hats - no shoes or jewellery) that you no longer want that are in clean and good condition. For each item you will receive a token (up to a maximum of four) that you can then use to 'buy' a perfect piece for your wardrobe that has been brought in by someone else! This is slow fashion at it's best! We are also supporting Largs Foodbank and ask that you bring in a donation of food (non-perishable & with a good date) that will help families in Largs.
February's meet up will be held at 33. Tickets are available for members now but are selling out fast!
