FESTIVE Christmas stockings were among some of the creations made by members of the Wessex Environment Business Network as they delved into a treasure trove of materials at the Wiltshire Scrapstore.

The WEBN visited the Wiltshire charity at its premises in Lacock where it turns unwanted items into art and play materials.

The charity, which has 800 members including community groups such as the Brownies, aims to promote learning through creativity by making various low cost resources available to the community.

WEBN is planning a site visit to Frome printers Butler & Tanner on January 22 between 10am and 12pm.

There will be a seminar focusing on environment management systems and a tour of the premises.

A site visit is also planned to Wessex Water's operations centre at Claverton Down, near Bath on February 12 from 4.40pm. More details from Elaine Harvey, 01225 355553 .
