| Report on the April meeting: “On Monday we enjoyed our annual Ploughman’s lunch.  After we were shown a presentation from the Embroiderers Guild which explained the history of the organisation and showed a number of textiles which have either been collected or donated to the Guild over the years. There were items from the sixteenth century onwards and from all over the world.” “The branch has been asked to donate money towards the conservation of these items so everyone was asked to contribute threads, fabrics, magazines and books to be sold and the money raised will go towards this request.” |
