It’s hard to believe that our last Rocheberie meeting was in January 2020, which is nineteen months ago! Nobody thought the coronavirus pandemic would last so long. Of, course, it’s not over yet, but we are starting to get back to normal activities. Most people were aware that Crescent School were having difficulties accommodating us. We understand that their priorities are education, rather than hiring out to quilting groups, but as we have been there for over 20 years, we were hoping to work something out. We started to look for another venue which could accommodate between 70 and 90 people, had a kitchen and car parking and was in Rugby. This proved more difficult than you might think, as lots of venues have weddings and birthday parties, sports clubs, dancing lessons or other regular activities on Saturdays, have in house catering, and the ones in the town have no decent car parking facilities. However, the committee have decided to move our meetings to Dunchurch Village Hall, which should suit us well. The only downside is that they are already booked for our September 18th meeting, so we will hold a one off social meeting at St Peter and St Johns Church on Clifton Road in Rugby. We will open at 9.45 as usual and have demos, raffle, cake, sales tables and show and tell etc as usual, but there will be no speaker. Here is a photo of the church, and we hope to see you there!
