A.G.M - 2009

Sue and Tracey report that around 30 members attended the meeting. Reports were given on the year's activities with 3 of the monthly meetings/workshops being given by our members Carol Fenlon, Karen Hurrell and Sue Tyldesley and many other interesting speakers and workshop tutors.
The four Local Heritage themed hands-on sessions organised by Sue and Tracey have been a great success and it is hoped that a lot of the work from these sessions will be on show at our proposed Open Day on May 8th 2010.
Our programme for the coming year includes Contemporary Felting; Silk Painting and Behind the Scenes at the Harris Museum - Preston.

The Branch were very pleased to be able to send another 32 Rainbow Squares towards the Regional displays ,and those produced last year were displayed at the AGM on a purpose made stand - much admired.
We would like to welcome 2 new members to the committee - Pat Bean and Donna Eaton.

After the business of the AGM Pauline Cogley gave a talk and demonstration of Canal Artwork and members were encouraged to 'have a go'.





Photographs taken by John Clark at the AGM - included some 'Postcards' from the Local Heritage Day. Don't know who they belong to so apologies for not adding names.
