The previous weekend, the club held a craft fair at the Meeting Point in Spilsby Methodist Church.
A spokesman for the club described the event as ‘well-supported’ – both in terms of visitors and exhibitors.
"Some of the crafts were started through Covid-19 and produced enough for a table to exhibit,” they said.

In recent weeks, the club has also accepted a donation of £541.56 from Lincolnshire Co-op through the organisation’s Community Champions scheme.
“We are very pleased to have received this award in our diamond anniversary year,” the spokesman said.
Alongside these, the club has also held its monthly meetings, with April’s seeing a demonstration from Beverly Artis titled Viva Andalusia. It was inspired by her travels through Spain.
