OUR FIRST MEETING OF 2015.

A lively committee meeting this month – lots to discuss including Programme; Sit & Stitch; Hands-On and Travelling Books  as well as information from HQ which had to be notified and discussed at our main meeting.  
A report on this part of the meeting and questions raised will be sent to all members as soon as I get them all together – please remember to send to me if you haven’t already done so.

Our Show and Tell by 3 members was then a nice bit of light relief – just listening to how each of them had initially stitched in their earlier years – one from the age of 9; and how they had approached their City and Guilds courses at two different centres with some wonderful results - some of which are shown below – in order of speaking -

Caroline Percy    and     Sue Chisnall-Sumner

and Marguerita McBride.

P1040098

It is such a pity that these courses hardly exist now, as many ladies have found that it gave them a focus for their future retirement - some going on to teach others, or joining/forming exhibiting groups and generally keeping the Guild membership thriving!

However in the North West, the Region have been running courses for the past couple of years but we don’t know for how much longer this will happen.
