First meeting in our new venue

 We were sad to have to leave our old venue of Crescent School, but we are delighted to have found another venue in Dunchurch Village Hall.  It’s quite easy to find on the main Rugby Road through Dunchurch and has great parking.  Phil was very friendly and helpful to us, and made us very welcome.   The main room was perfect and the whole place was clean, modern and well set up.  

We had a great turnout of about 70 people, but although it looks busy in this photo, we only had six chairs per table, and provided plenty of ventilation.  

Here is a different view of the hall, showing how spacious it was. 

Our speaker was Karen from Quilter’s Den in Warwick, and she proved to be an interesting and enjoyable speaker, with lots of lovely quilts to show.  

Here she is with her ‘pop up shop’ which was perfect for those of us who had been recently starved of retail therapy.  She had a good selection of fabrics and I managed to go home with a few beautiful designs. 

Unfortunately, Caroline was indisposed, but luckily Julie was able to step in and run the raffle.  The raffle, cake and magasines money all goes to our nominated charity, so. Is quite important! 

The next meeting will be on the 5th February, which will be out 21st birthday party.  We will have three different workshops and some fun games, as well as cake!  You will need to bring a sewing kit and a small wadding off cut, something like 6” x 8”.  I’m sure most people have that.  See you in 2022.
