Christmas Social next Monday 12th

Our last meeting in 2011 is the Christmas Social. As in previous years there will be a practical project with a Christmas theme. All the materials will be provided but please bring £1 to cover these. Also a sewing kit - needles, scissors etc.
Please bring a plate of food for the refreshment table. Drinks will be available, including non-alchoholic mulled 'wine' to get us into the Christmas spirit.
If you wish to take part in the 'Secret Santa' wrap up a present costing around £3 to put in the box. You never know what lovely goody you may receive!
Hope to see you there - it's a good chatty informal evening.
Best wishes for a Happy Christmas and New Year.

Exciting things coming up!

Thanks to everyone who renewed their membership and a gentle reminder to those who haven't, that subs are due. The AGM was a great success with new members volunteering for the committee. Jan gave us a fascinating glimpse of the first year of her degree course with examples of her work inspired by her visits to Botswana. Other members brought along their current projects - an amazing array of talent.

There is a great programme of events coming up, starting with Margaret's talk at the November meeting. There will be an opportunity for novices with the soldering iron to 'have-a-go' in preparation for the workshop in April next year. Details of the Christmas Social will be available.

Eleanor is leading the November workshop following on from the machine embroidery practice in September. (pictures below) There are still spaces and you don't have to have attended the previous one. Joy has all the details.
