The first part of the meeting was our AGM. Pat presented the financial position and Susan gave us the Annual Report, illustrating her talk with various pictures taken during a busy year of activities. Melanie was confirmed as our President for 2024. On behalf of our 56 members Helen H thanked Melanie, the committee and the subgroup leaders for everything they do.
Annette, our craft guru, then showed us how to make a Christmas Bauble. With the help of Craft Group members she had prepared individual ‘kits’ with a polystyrene ball, pre-cut fabric pieces and other accessories. There was a real ‘buzz’ in the room as everyone set about making their own bauble
Remarkably almost everyone was able to complete their bauble before our refreshment break.
This was a real fun and productive activity, many thanks to Annette.
After tea Jean reminded members about our website, and the wealth of information available. With Melanie’s help she gave a live ‘demo’ on how to access and find the way around it – information has been sent out to all members for reference.
