The National AGM too place at the Southport Convention Centre at the end of March. Several of our members attended and we were delighted to see all of the postcards for ‘The Sporting Nations of the World’. They were an awesome sight.
The AGM meeting was led very professionally by our two new presidents Jan Beany and Jean Littlejohn.
During this part of the day our own Kathryn Thompson was presented with an award by Jan Beany.
This was an acknowledgement for her all her hard work not only for the North West Region but also for organising the AGM. A well deserved award. Well done Kathryn.
The raffle prizes were handmade bags filled with lots of goodies, just like our bags on Regional Day last year.
The afternoon speakers were excellent. Linda Barton was the first speaker ‘Spinning a Golden Yarn’ her account of the history of the Stephen Simpsons Goldwork Company that used to be in Preston. She was most informative and very amusing.
The second Speaker was Bridget Guest who spoke about the Quaker Tapestry. Also a very interesting, informative and amusing speaker.
I am sure that I speak for our members and say that it all went very well and was thoroughly enjoyable. I only went on the Saturday but I am reliably told that the Friday was also very enjoyable too!
Just a selection of postcards – there were too many boards and some were very difficult to photograph because of the space and the angle. Ours our there – can you spot them?
