Meetings and Workshops - Oct\Nov\Dec 2013

Theres' so much going on at the moment I thought I'd send a list of forthcoming events\workshops  - this list is subject to change and is by no means definitive, there will almost definitely be things missing! Occasionally (rarely, sometimes frequently) I get things wrong, so I'm hoping this isn't one of these occasions...

Guild Meetings...
1st Tuesday of Month - Quilting 101 with Betty Doyle, its a BoM from Craftsy and is open to all.
2nd Tuesday of Month - Business Meeting, Fat Quarter Lotto, etc
3rd Tuesday of Month - Show & Tell
4th Tuesday of Month - Demo Night
Where there is a 5th Tuesday in the month there will be a Yard Sale.

29th - Yard Sale on 5th Tuesday of Month.

November
SATURDAY 2nd - Purses workshop with Betty Doyle at the White School on Sutton Road, Nelson

December
3rd - Quilting 101 with Betty Doyle, The President's Winter Challenge (12 and a half inch square block, Winter theme)
10th - Christmas Dinner** and Secret Santa 'The Big Reveal'...I wonder if Santa will reappear this year?? **Dinner will be at the Golf & Country Club once again, 6pm, price to be confirmed by Colleen, menu will be the usual choice of Chicken or Beef subject to confirmation.

Not sure what the plan is for the Snowmen and Cottages Blocks at the moment.

ANYWAY, none of this is set in stone, dates and venues may change, events added\altered etc. This is just a FYI for the busy Fall\Festive season.

Enjoy your week - we'll see you for Demo Night next week.
