Next Meeting: 30th Anniversary, AGM and Jacob's Join

Thanks to those members who brought along their beautiful work for the members' display in February.

Next Meeting: 6 February 2016 Members' Work Display

Our next meeting takes place on 6 February 2016.  Please bring along pieces of work depicting Family: relatives, birthdays, christenings and weddings for the members' display.  Other members would find it interesting if you could bring a note to put alongside your work giving your name and your reason for selecting your item(s).  As always, we shall be making lace, so if you are interested in lacemaking, do come along and have a chat to some of our members.

Next Meeting: 9 January - NOTE CHANGE OF DATE

Thanks to the committee for organising the Christmas Party, a 'reet good do', and to Marian for the lovely bags that she made, one for each member, as a gift from Preston Lacemakers.

Our next meeting takes place on the SECOND SATURDAY IN JANUARY, 9 January.  It is an open meeting, so bring your lace along.  You will need to give the committee any motions that you wish to be decided at the AGM.  This will be your last opportunity to present items for the AGM, although you can have issues discussed after the AGM in 'Any other business' in the Open Meeting.  For issues discussed in the Open Meeting, a decision might need to wait until the next AGM, depending upon the nature and content of the issue.  Please consider standing for the committee and submit your nominations for the committee at this meeting.

With best wishes to everyone for the New Year.
