22nd February - a successful Open Day

Advertising in the local press (Theresa) and on Manx Radio (Marilyn) paid off and we were busier than we had dared hope.

The exhibition of competition items from National Guild were super to see in reality, rather than in Contact or Stitch magazines. Our local samples though, were of equal merit and it is amazing what our members actually go on to finish from workshops or are inspired to create on their own.

Competition winners from National

Winners every one! Our own pieces.

Our visitors didn't only see finished items. Members were on hand to demonstrate their skills, or to let those who wanted, try things for themselves.

Taken before the crowds arrived!

Our Patroness, Lady Gozney, came to see us and view the exhibition. She was pictured with our Meeter- and Greeter-in-Chief! The press also photographed the committee, so buy the local papers next week!!
