Update #8 – into September 2018

Next Meeting

On Saturday 8th September our year starts again with the AGM in the morning. Members  should have received the relevant paperwork by now. Members are encouraged to renew their branch membership. On a personal note, I renew my Guild membership online annually, it’s quick and easy, I have had no problem with scam emails and it saves a bit of work for our Membership Secretary.

Our afternoon speaker will be Carol Quarini on the subject of the Battle of Britain Lace Panel and her response to it. (see link for more information).

The Programme for the coming year will be included in the Newsletter, which should be ready in time for 8th September. It will also be available here a few days later and you will of course also receive a copy on your Members’ Card after details of the new Committee members are confirmed.

Workshops –  Booking for 2019 branch workshop opens in October, but brief information about them will be available in the Programme, with more from Sheila P at meetings

September at Alban Lacemakers

A message from Madge C, at Alban Lacemakers:

It’s September and I hope you have all had a good summer and ready to get back to your lace pillows. The next Alban Lacemakers meeting is this coming Friday September 14^th. Our speaker is Katie Pirson talking about her embroidery work and the story behind it. She is also our supplier with kits, threads and needles.

The library and raffle will be there as usual. Don’t forget to let me know if you want a particular book or books from the library.

Don’t forget to bring along a cup for your tea or coffee.

Hope to see you on friday.

 

note from blogbeva:

Katie’s talk at the Oxford Branch is reviewed here – Katie is RSN trained and her talk should be of particular appeal to traditional stitchers and those with an interest in fine and delicate embroidery
