As mentioned at the very enjoyable Region 3 Regional Day at Romsey on the 16th October, Maureen Evans and myself are intending to start a Contemporary Quilt Group for our area – south coast – Hampshire, IoW, Dorset, Wiltshire, Ch. Is (if anyone is on the mainland that day) including any Guild members from other regions who would like to come.
The inaugural meeting will be held on Tuesday 26th October 10.30-1.30 at Sarisbury Green Community Centre, The Green, Sarisbury Green, SO31 7AA. Coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided and for this first meeting only, there will be no charge for the room hire.
We would like to discuss the usual – a day to meet, length of meeting, amount of meetings per year, purpose of the group, funding, members’ expectations, name of the group, insurance, etc – not necessarily in that order! We would ask those who attend the meeting to bring their most recent work in the contemporary vein (if you have any) for others to see.
Some people have expressed an interest but are unable to come on a Tuesday, for example (it’s half term for this particular meeting) – another consideration is a Sunday, perhaps once a month, every two months or once a quarter. Hopefully by the end of the meeting we will have a clearer idea of where we are going.
Anyone who would like to come, or is interested but cannot make the above date, please email me – carolinehounsell at yahoo. co. uk. or leave a comment here. If you feel that a Sunday is better for you, we would like to know that information, too.
