 February 7th: 86th Birthday lunch

Competition:  Paper snowflake won by Veronica Aspland
To mark our eighty sixth birthday, committee members got together and produced a splendid lunch: roast beef with all the trimmings. Choices of puddings, cheese board, tea or coffee and a birthday cake so we all took a piece of cake home. A very jolly time had by us all.

March AGM & Sue showing us stenciling

Competition: stencilled card, points to all
Our March meeting was our annual meeting. Well attended and a resume of our activities for the last year. The treasurer gave us a financial report, and Sheila Bailey, as president, rounded off the cheerful meeting with her report, ending with a plea to try and encourage some new members to join us. The competition was changed to how to make a stenciled card, and everyone who entered got a point, so well done, everyone!​

April Janet McDowell, knitting

Competition: A knitted hat  won by Terry Webb
At our April meeting we were very entertained as Janet McDowell told us the history of knitting. More complex than we had expected, from ancient times when socks were found in the tomb of an ancient Egyptian up to today with our knitting patterns. Janet was very happy to answer our questions. She judged the competition for a knitted hat: First Terry Webb, second Brenda Marks and third Ann Flewitt.
