Northesk has a Ukelele Group. We meet fortnightly on Tuesdays at 3pm in the upstairs hall of the church. All ages and abilities welcome. If you're interested, get in touch with us on via the contact form. Having your own Ukelele would be ideal, but if not having one is preventing you from joining us, let us know. |

A new Knit and Knatter group starts on the 2nd March from 10am-12pm and will meet Wednesdays fortnightly in the church hall.
Bring your knitting, sewing, crocheting, or whatever else takes your fancy and join us for a time of crafting over a cup of tea and a good blether. All are welcome and you don't even need to craft to come, your company would be greatly appreciated. For more details, please contact Audrey Arthur or fill out the contact form on our website. |
FLOWER FOLKSThe flowers which decorate the church each week are arranged by a team, who buy and display the flowers. Donations for purchasing the flowers are welcomed. Following the service, the flowers are given to anyone in the community (not necessarily members) who would benefit from receiving a bouquet along with Northesk's good wishes - suggestions on who would benefit may be made at the front door of the church.
If you would like to donate towards the flowers in any particular week, or would like to help in arranging the flowers, please speak to Margaret Elgin. Scottish country dancingScottish Country Dance classes at Northesk are for children and adults. All are welcome, no previous experience required!
