July 2022 - Summer party

In lieu of not being able to have our usual Christmas party meetings for the last 2 years, we made up for it by having a little summer party with a few slices of cakes and some non-alcoholic fizz.

It was Liz's last meeting as chair, after many years of sterling work, and we provided a small token of our great appreciation with a hand-made card made by Jean, and a National Garden gift voucher. The new committee for the next club year is shaping up nicely, with René as chair. Liz brought along the original club notebooks that contain logs of what happened in the meetings prior to starting the online blog.

Shows and exhibitions

Creative craft show in Farnborough. 2-4 September (Farnborough Creative Craft Show 2022 | The Creative Craft Shows). Tickets £10

Southern wool at Newbury is also on the weekend of the 3-4 September (Southern Wool Show - Home).

Show and tell

Included a crochet blanket using a double knit acrylic, and a child's purple cardigan using yarn from Poundland.

July Meeting on Tuesday 5th July

 Our July meeting is on Tuesday (5th July, 8 pm, Methodist Church).  Is this going to be the last ever one? 

I have sent an email to those of you who paid a subscription pre-pandemic.  Please read it and respond as it is important.

Nobody has yet volunteered to take on the lead position.  We do have volunteers to act as treasurer and to handle PR and our on-line presence, but they can't do everything between them especially as they both work full time.  So if you want to see the club continue, and to make it to it's 45th year (and on to it's 50th), volunteer now and help keep it going.

I am sure we will have plenty to discuss so we have put this meeting down as a knit and natter.  Come along and spend an evening knitting (and crocheting) and nattering.  Bring along things you've recently made too and show them off.

I do hope there is a good turnout for this meeting.  In light of the soaring covid numbers, please wear a mask when you are inside the building and sanitize hands too.  Thank you.
