This meeting was the occasion of our Open Day which by all accounts was very successful. Thanks to all who assisted in the preparation and running of the day.
Visitors were able to "have a go" at all the crafts on display with a number saying they would return for the next meeting.
We had a couple of professional guests, Bob Neill and Chris Fisher, to add to the interest.
