21st September 2023

September social, AGM, coffee and cake 

Trisha (chair) welcomed all including visitors and thanked everyone for their continued support. She reviewed the year including the variety of excellent speakers and range of different work they created, the workshops and popularity of the mini workshops following meetings, finance, publicity, stitch together, sales table and raffles.

Thanks and presentations of flowers to:

Glenys who resigned from committee, but still takes entry fee and raffle money at meetings.

Jan (who is moving from the area)  for her work organising tea/coffee rota and supplies.

Lynn has now undertaken this role.

Notices/reminders

Exhibition at Nantwich museum approaches, theme is 'Seasons' although there will be a space for 'non seasons' work. Any type of stitched work hand/machine, any size, mount onto board/ box canvases, it must have mirror plates attached to it in order to fix to the walls in the museum.

NB Please e mail Trisha the rough size of the piece(s) of work you are creatingand also the season it depicts .

 If you are producing 3 D pieces of work we need to know the size as it has to be able to fit into the display cabinets in the museum. 

October/November mini workshops - 'Button Cushions'

Stitch together 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, now at St Annes Community hub - members welcome

Residential and 1.5 day workshops - Waddow hall now closed so would need a new venue if there is sufficient support for a residential type of course. 1.5 day workshops have seen a decline in interest/ perticipation with several having to be cancelled due to lack of numbers.

Any thoughts or suggestions please e mail Trisha
