Next Meeting: 1 August 2015 Members' Work Display

It was lovely to see so many members at the last meeting when we had an informative and entertaining talk from Pauline of Polly Jane Yarns.  Members also took the opportunity to purchase some lovely yarns in a range of beautiful colours, patterns and other accessories.

Our next meeting takes place on Saturday, 1 August 2015.  Members are asked to bring pieces of their work for a display.  The theme is 'The type of lace I like making most'.  Please bring a note of your name to show alongside your lace and, if you can, a description of why you like the type of lace you're displaying.

Non-members are welcome to come along as guests, see what we do and join in the chatter.  Bring your lace along if you already make lace.

Next Meeting: 4 July 2015 Polly Jane Yarns

Our next meeting, on Saturday 4 July, will be an interesting and entertaining talk by Pauline of Polly Jane Yarns entitled 'A yarn about a yarn'.  There will also be a vast choice of knitting and crochet yarns, patterns and accessories to browse through and purchase if you wish.  As always, visitors are most welcome.  Please let us know beforehand if you wish to join us as a visitor at this meeting, as we shall have less space than usual and, therefore, can only have a limited number of visitors.  The email address to contact us is prestonlacemakers@yahoo.com or you can telephone our secretary, Carol Fenlon, on  01695 728320 if you prefer.

Next Meeting: 6 June 2015 - Ruskin Lace Workshop with Karen Quickfall

At our next meeting on 6 June 2015, Karen Quickfall will be giving a workshop on Ruskin Lace.  Further details can be found on our 'Workshop's page or by clicking here.  The workshop starts at 10:30.  If you're interested in joining us, come along, because not all members will be participating in the workshop and will be making their own projects in lace and having a chat.

Next Meeting: 2 May 2015 Members' Display - Nature, Flora and Fauna

Our next meeting takes place on Saturday 2 May and members are asked to bring samples of their work which represent Nature, Flora and Fauna to put into the display for the meeting.  A note of your name and something about the work, to put on the display with your item, would be lovely.

Next Meeting: 4 April 2015 Open Meeting

Thanks to all of you who attended the AGM and particularly to those who volunteered for posts. Once again the finger buffet was excellent, thanks to all members for their delicious contributions.  Carol is currently arranging to get the membership card printed so we should have those available for paid up members at the next meeting.

The next meeting takes place on 4 April 2015 and is an open meeting, so bring you lace along and have a chat, get help  and advice and be inspired by the work of others.  Anyone interested is welcome to come along and see what we do.

Next Meeting 7 March 2015: AGM and Jacob's Join Finger Buffet

Our next meeting is the AGM, to be held on Saturday 7 March.  If you have not received your AGM agenda and minutes of the last meeting, email prestonlacemakers@yahoo.com or telephone one of the committee members, as the secretary might not be available between now and the AGM.  Remember to bring some food for the Jacob's Join Finger Buffet.

The AGM is an important meeting for the group so we look forward to seeing everyone.  Visitors are welcome, as always, but will not be able to vote at the AGM.

Next Meeting 7 February 2015 Open Meeting

We had planned to have a viewing of the Contrasts DVD at our meeting on 7 February.  Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, this is no longer possible.  We shall, therefore, have an open meeting.  Bring your lace along and make lace, have a chat and see what everyone else is doing.
