What a fun and productive evening we had this month.
We sat around our tables in groups, chatting away as we endeavoured to sew together a limited number of items to produce a spray of poppies.
With the guidance of Wendy we took on the challenge and after a few pricked fingers, lost wires, disappearing thread and some slippery little buttons, we all managed to make our poppies.
These are going to look great in the Storrington village shop windows this November in the run up to Remembrance Sunday.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who put together the packs and helped to cut out the felt. Especially to Wendy and her son (who kindly donated the felt for us to use).
Whilst we had refreshments we also had the book sale. This appeared to go very well as there was a good selection of books, which seemed to be to a lot of people's taste. Not many had to be taken home again at the end of the evening. Thank you if you donated or bought a book.
The meeting also covered the usual business notices, including one to inform us that our fundraiser in August made an amazing £134.19, which has already been sent off to ACWW.
