On Saturday 7th December 2019 we held our MEG Christmas Party. It was the first time we used All Hallows Centre for a Christmas Party and it proved to be a very light, bright suitable venue. There was a lively buzz of activity all day and we were delighted to welcome NW Regional Chair Sue Chisnall who paid us a visit and enjoyed her day. While she was with us she presented Vicky Williams with her 25 year badge and certificate. The Traditional Embroidery competition was judged by visitor’s votes and the worthy winner was Ann Thyer with her cross stitched birth sampler. Congratulations Ann! We have photos of all the happenings of the day, just click here to view them…

June to view the Quaker Tapestry. We had a very enjoyable day with sunshine all the way! The Quaker Tapestry Exhibition Centre staff were very friendly and informative, and the cafe served delicious food as well! Unfortunately we were not permitted to photograph any of the embroideries, but many thanks to Gill Roberts for the lovely photographs of our group.
