What a good turnout!! This meeting in the past has been rather sparse but over 50 members attended and visitors made the number up to 60! Both competition tables were about full which is good to see and the standard of entries continues on its upward trend. All disciplines were well rpresented and Tony Reindorp and Terry Cambridge held a Marquetry workshop for people wishing tp have a go.
