September AGM

I was very sorry to miss the September meeting, the competition and the AGM.

I have been told Hazel brought along a rich variety of vestments to illustrate her talk "What's in the Vestry" and everyone enjoyed that part of the meeting.  Thanks Hazel.

Pam Hancock won the competition. Congratulations Pam!

The AGM did not go so well with no one being willing to stand for the positions which must be filled in order for the branch to continue (i.e. Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer). This means that once Hazel has finalised the accounts the branch will be wound up by the Embroiderers' Guild Headquarters. The paperwork and banner were taken away by Val Coleshaw, Chair of the North West Region.

I have been a member of the Alsager and District Branch of the Embroiderers' Guild for a good many years and have enjoyed every talk, demonstration, workshop and activity that I have attended so am very sad to see it ending like this.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard over the years to make it the success it has been.
