South Cheshire Embroiderers’ Guild
The South Cheshire Branch of the Embroiderer's Guild
meets at Audlem Scout and Guide Hall. Members come from a wide area
-
from Northwich to Market Drayton and Ellesmere to Eccleshall.
Meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month from 10am
starting with coffee and followed by a speaker on a topic
connected with embroidery. The exceptions to these regular
meeting dates are August, when there is no meeting, and December, when
the Christmas lunch is held at a different venue.
A series of
workshops is also held throughout the year.
Membership is open to anyone interested in
embroidery. Entrance fee to meetings
is £2
for members, £4
for non members, including tea or coffee and biscuits. A Young
Embroiderers Group is being formed, starting in February.
