Meeting 14 September

We started our September meeting with a session of Decopatch. Many of us had little idea beforehand what exactly this was but it turned out to be the application of small pieces of paper in various colours and patterns to any item you wanted to decorate, in this case a variety of boxes, bowls and flowerpots. Using a special glue both under and on top of the overlapping patches created a very attractive finish and was also surprisingly relaxing. Many thanks to our “tutors” who came along to show us what to do.

The business section later, was fairly short with reminders including the Centenary Group meeting two days later, the carol service in Wells on 9^th December and the shoe box campaign. For the latter we are collecting small items for a female YWCA resident 18-25, for suggestions see Jan Pattison’s e mail and bring them along to the October meeting or to Caroline Harris by end of October at the latest. We are also running short of raffle prizes so if you could spare an extra one please bring that along in October too.

Finally we already have enough volunteers for one team at the quiz in the Hall on 31^st October but if more would like to join in you would be very welcome and we could have a second team as well.

At our meeting on the 12^th October at 7.30 there will be a talk titled “Going to Blazes”.
