WHAT better way to while away an afternoon than by honing one's artistic talents and enjoying a good chat over lunch at the same time?

Members of the Ladies Creative Centre have long enjoyed this special treat on Mondays, with weekly meetings taking place at St Andrew's Church Hall in Mount Park Road, Ealing.

The latest workshop focused on improving art techniques, but other classes have included everything from cookery to crafts.

The sessions take place from noon to 4pm most weeks. Admission is £2 for members and £3.50 for non-members.
