This could be a great showcase for us to put together and make something that is lasting and portrays what our Guild is about. This is a summarization, from Ann, of the conversations gathered from many.
“A one day sharing with a variety of short information presentations,
some occurring at the same time and being repeated at least once so
presenters could have a chance to go to the ones they might otherwise
miss.” We could open this to other Guilds to partake in and we could also provide a lunch.

There was much discussion about this Grant, Louise did not think the
one day format to get everything done would work very well. She
proposed having three separate days, each one having a specific
Workshop . Lis was in agreement with this idea as were many others.
Louise said she would take on the role of Co-ordinator and finish the
Grant Application with help from Jacquie who has already put together
a Draft of it.

The new Shawls from each upcoming Sheep to Shawl will be put in the
Christmas Sale for two years, if they are not sold, there will be a Draw at
the June Potluck for all who are in attendance. The Guild pays for the
fibres and also Free passes for those participating in the Sheep to Shawl,
if we can sell the Shawl the funds will go back in the Account towards
next years expenses for the Competition.
