Tuesday was our annual AGM. A slightly more formal night but luckily we had already introduced the new committee at the EGM in July. Reports were read, balance sheets poured over and then Ann gave flowers to Eileen and Val. The main issue at AOB was the announcement of the resignation of PH. This was met with great concern and after quite a heated discussion, Val and Ann will meet together and send a formal letter to HQ. Members signed up to the forthcoming day school and Saturday was picked as the most popular date for the trip to Harrogate. Some places still available for both events.
I now publish our newsletter…..

During this very busy evening we were asked to vote for our favourite piece in the Mollys Cup competition. Even though the idea of broderie perse seemed daunting to some, there was an impressive range of work.
Ann presented Jackie with the Rose bowl for her very popular fan. Finally some of us had the time to Show and Tell. Jackie brought an award winning Quilt, Joan a cross stitched picture of her family,Lesley wore her Nuno felted waistcoat, Brenda a felt picture, Barbara and I showed the pieces made at our play day.
A very busy night and we look forward to the programme ahead.
