The workshop began with Louise explaining how she produced her Lino Prints and giving details of the materials and methods she used in order to embellish them.  She had brought along a very wide selection of samples of her work and prints from which we could choose a selection on which to work.

Once members had chosen their prints they sat quietly and with much concentration decorating them, and as they worked Louise walked round the group, giving further help, advice and tips.  At the end of the day members thanked Louise for her patience and the professional way she had guided everyone which had made the day such a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

That time of year had once again arrived, when members brought along a selection of savoury and sweet items to share.  The evening was then spent talking and chatting whilst enjoying the refreshments. 

There was much anticipation when we heard the bell announcing the arrival of the ice cream van and members quickly queued up ready to enjoy one of Neil’s lovely creamy cornets. 

After we had enjoyed our supper and ice cream a simple quiz caused much discussion and amusement.  There were some very good results with members on the winning table each receiving a small prize.

Everyone agreed it had been a very enjoyable evening and our thanks went to everyone for the delicious refreshments, to Sally and Jane for the summer drinks and a very special thanks to Jocey and her husband Neil for providing the ice cream treat.

Whilst members worked on their individual projects we had the opportunity to look at items that had been made ready for the Exhibition Tombola.  It was noted that last time the gifts had run out by Sunday lunchtime so it was hoped that more would be donated this time.

Discussions took place regarding the Raffle donation but as there were so few members present it was agreed that an email be sent offering all members the opportunity to record their vote.

Any member still wishing to add their name to the list for the trip to the NEC in July was asked make known their interest as soon as possible in order for the coach to be booked. The trip had now been opened to outside groups.

Thanks go to Carol and Kate for their duties in the kitchen.
