CraftAbility in Thaxted welcomed visitors from Saffron Walden u3a to celebrate a member's 90th birthday.

Greta Scott shared a birthday cake with members and volunteers and received cards and presents, including a personalised cushion and a cat-themed handmade quilt.

The u3a (University of the Third Age) entertained Greta and her fellow members with acting, singing and poetry.

CraftAbility is also holding a pop-up craft sale at Saffron Community Hub in Saffron Walden on Saturday, July 20.

Volunteers will be there to answer any questions about the centre and to sell handmade crafts made by members.

This year's CraftAbility summer outing will be on Thursday, July 4 to Clacton-on-Sea, when members will enjoy a fish and chip lunch by the seaside.

There will also be a murder mystery night on Saturday, October 26, with details to be announced on the centre's Facebook page.
