The day was a great success. We all enjoyed listening to our speaker Maryke Phillips and seeing samples of her work.
We raised £770 for Brighter Futures at Great Western Hospital and there were some very happy raffle winners!

Thank you to all the ladies who came to our sewing day back in March 2015. It was a very enjoyable day and Sally’s talk and her quilts were fantastic.
We made a grand total of 1000 for the three Charities, Air Ambulance, Head ways and Fun 4 all, which is a great amount!!
These days are hard work to make it a good day for you all, so a very big thank you to the girls who made it happen, whether it was making a cake, donating books and magazines, sewing Aprons and making tombola prizes.
So many thanks to everyone who helped in anyway to make it a lovely day for all to enjoy. Here are a few photos of the cheques being presented to Headways and Fun-4- All at our Monday afternoon meeting.
