AMBERS TEDDY BEAR KNITTING CLUB
Knitters receive praise

Without any fanfare this club meets regularly, and its members knit furiously, to produce a range of knitted goods for donation. The club is about 30 strong, and the members meet every second week. Some members are unable to get to the meeting venue, so they knit at home or in the Care Centre and send their items in to the club for distribution.

WESSA walk revives bumslide memories

Following on from the GANRC talk by WESSA, a group of
22 old and new members arrived for our walk in the
Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve which was aptly named
“Three Waterfalls and Bumslide”

Behind the scenes in the Amber Valley Kitchen

Christmas Day lunch in the Amber Valley Restaurant once again was spectacular. A myriad starters were presented on platters and it was hard to choose something small to begin the lunch feast with. The temptation was great to have one of everything, but one had to leave room for the main course and dessert later. It is the preparation of all that glorious food that residents, tough, never see. What goes on behind the kitchen doors is nothing but amazing.
