PROGRAMME 2012

REGULAR MEETINGS

Normally 10.30 to 3.30 at Forden Community Centre (see map on Home page) on the second Saturday in the month, unless otherwise stated. They consist of a full day, with either a half-day talk, a full-day workshop or a day spinning and sharing knowledge. Don't forget to bring your own lunch!

Visitors are always welcome, and are asked to pay £3 towards our costs.

We also sometimes run courses/workshops for new spinners and weavers, using tutors from within the Guild.

We also attend events, and these are shown by date in the programme below.
