Back after the Summer

We had our first meeting back after the summer last night and was attended by 32 members.  We had a bit of a show and tell and some stories about going to FOQ, Birmingham in August. We presented our diary for the next sewing year and it can be found on the blog.  Come along and see us if you wish, visitors are always welcome.
