THE AGM was held on Thursday September 27 with the election of officers as follows: secretary Angela Kovacevic; treasurer Peggy Mears; leader Pat Kay.

Our speaker was Liz Chave, from Hereford, who talked about her needlework cross-stitch kits. Her designs were charming. Some kits for advanced and experienced stitchers featured designs from Hereford Cathedral's Victorian floor tiles. For beginners she assembled a kit called the Swinfield Pig, its name having been taken from the tomb of John Swinfield, precentor of Hereford Cathedral from 1294 to 1311.
