February 2019 - Making progress

As is usual for the first meeting post-Christmas, the turn-out was slightly lower than average, but thankfully the snow had disappeared so no emergency cancellation was required. The evening was for making progress on those part-done or stuck projects. Everyone has a project that they were working on, so there was the gentle click-click of needles throughout the evening whilst we caught up and discussed techniques.

The club received a thank you letter from the Friends of The Royal Marsden for the hand-made gifts and donations for their sales table. They noted that "these items are always very popular and raise much needed funds for the Hospital." The Friends of The Royal Marsden is to merge with the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity this year. Therefore, if we continue to support the hospital it will be through the sales table of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity in Sutton. Alternatively, members are welcome to suggest alternative local charities to support.
