ANWG “ “ “ “ “
Carmen has volunteered to form a Committee to come up with an idea(s)
perhaps to amalgamate all of the talents from our Guild and provide
classes etc. to others. There were several ideas put out to the group,
Marg Fryatt suggested having First Nations helping with basket weaving.
Ann spoke of her Retreat taking Cedar Basket Weaving and the many
experiences there. We do not have to come up with something
complicated. If you have ideas, please forward them to Carmen and also
look up the ANWG Site. This has to be in to the Committee by April 15th,
2018. I have attached the info. We would ask the Committee to have a
report ready for the March 5th Meeting.

SPINNING CLASSES at the Fall Fair, we require a Committee to be
formed to look after this, revamping classes, getting Guild approval and
having this information ready for the Fair Book BY MARCH 31, 2018.
Louise has information from past years that you can contact her about.
We have many people who spin but not many who enter the Classes. Ann
will work on the Committee, and she has a folder of past information
available. However she will not head it. It was discussed that maybe we
should have a few classes that many can enter.

Experienced Spinner more than 2 years 2 ply

Louise has lots of information for judging this Class.
Lynne, Marg and Ann will work on this.
