Start of another year

Branch meeting 21st September 2017



Today was the start of a new era as we welcomed our new Chairman Barbara Bauckham
First, though, we had to show our appreciation to Hilary Small at the end of her three years in office.
I think she liked the flowers!

Some of our members had been busy over the break and had brought along some finished 
aricles




Nicola Jarvis left her mark!!









After the AGM business the people who had been doing the latest round of travelling books came out to talk about their experiences.
Most had enjoyed the exercise and the point was made that it had encouraged them out of their comfort zone.
A suggestion was made that we had a sort of library of the books so that people could borrow them and take them home for a month to view them at leisure.
Here are just a few sample pages.
























Following the tea break our new chairman led a workshop making Dorset buttons
There were samples




Many people were soon beavering away







Cant wait to see the results at a future meeting!!!
