CCP New Friends Network
Green Square facilitate the New Friends Network group which runs monthly. It is a community group that welcomes everyone. Each month we complete a different activity, which is often craft based. We welcome suggestions for activities from our members and have completed all of the following: glass painting, clay modelling, portrait drawing, crochet, silk painting, cup cake decorating, decoupage, and clay painting as well as other things. The group recently competed in a competition organised by The Barnwood Trust. Their entry was a collage shield, entitled, 'What Bishop's Cleeve Means to Me.'

All abilities are welcome. You can pop along for a cup of tea and a slice of cake with other members of the  local community. The group normally meets 2nd Wednesday of the month, but the day may change dependent on school holidays. Look out for posters, displayed on our noticeboards or contact organiser, Rosie, to check beforehand.
