The month started with a Saturday Open Day. Unfortunately with all the preparations for Regional Day we omitted to advertise this event so we had very few members attending. However that did not stop us from enjoying the day.
Marge brought an array of braiding materials and examples, small kits and instructions. We had the embellisher available for anyone to try out and also the latest acquisition to our branch equipment – the Ashford Knitters’ Loom.
Seonaid going great guns on the ‘Knitters’ Loom.
Marge’s Braiding equipment. She also had a lot of information with her in a box of files.
Experimenting with the Embellisher and some embellished samples.
A couple of drop spindles. The largest one is a Navajo Spindle.
REGIONAL DAY – APRIL 16th!!! Finally it arrived.
Actually in all kicked off on the Friday from about 4pm onwards as we entered the building and began setting things out in readiness for the BIG DAY!!
The day all went to plan and from the comments that we received afterwards and as members left at the end of the day a good time had been had by all. We were joint hosts of the event with Lytham St Annes Branch. The following images are of the pieces from the joint exhibition. I am not including the competition entries as there are too many people belonging to other branches around the regions whose permission I might need first in order to show their work.
The organising committee all went out for a well deserved meal that evening. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing that the day had been a success and it was all over!!!
