Brenda ran a short and slick AGM, where committee were introduced. Officers were prepared to stand again as well. Our fees had to rise by £3.00. Im sure you will read all details in the AGM minutes.
Once this was over we began to stitch an unusual house made of pieces of felt. I understand that it was inspired by the national Day of Stitch theme. .
We had also been asked to vote for Mollys Cup. This time the theme was" Inspired by Summer" and i am delighted to announce that Carol was our winner. Brenda presented her with our rose bowl and certificate. Here are the entries and finally Carol with her work and her presentation
Sylvia also starred this evening. She brought along a portrait of her friend , made of cross stitch. It was so realistic, incredible.
