The business of the AGM was over quickly and the election of new officers followed.
Chairman April has resigned and a new chair was elected unopposed – Gill Rise will be our new Chair. Congratulations Gill.
We would like to thank April for all her hard work over the past few years. We look forward to he continuing to give some demonstrations as part of our club nights.
It was then announced that several members will enter the Sherbourne Vase competiton for Guild of Machine Knitters. Winners will be announced at the next Guild AGM in June at Westbury in Wiltshire. Good luck to those involved. This year the Sherbourne vase competition rules had been changed so that only 3 members instead of 5 are required to work on the project. This makes it possible for different groups of people to work on this competition in different years.
Several people were working on the project to knit jumpers for boys in Syria.
After the AGM there were demonstrations of some of the techniques discussed by Anne Baker in her talk last month.
