We were able to hold the event in the greenhouses which provided lots of light and space. The day started fairly quietly but quickly became very busy with lots of interested visitors. Our Harry Ousey piece was much admired and many visitors took away information about our branch.
Our branch had its own stall, as did several of our members.
The proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Reuben's Retreat, the charity based in the former Woods Hospital in Glossop which provides bereavement support and counselling care for families.
The donation was significantly increased by money raised from a 'name the dolly' competition organised by Joy, and featuring a beautiful doll which she made herself.
We were also fortunate to have two textile artists displaying their work: Hannah Dodd and Eva Thomas, who spoke at our September meeting.
So we had a wide range of interesting and attractive work for our visitors to admire!
Lymefield supported us by providing excellent refreshments which helped to keep the visitors and stallholders going throughout the day, which was a great success for the traders and for our branch. We send a huge 'thank you' to the members who supported our hard work.
