Regional AGM

This year Ryedale Branch hosted the Regional AGM at Scarcroft near Leeds.  It was a busy day for the seven of us that went but we managed OK and had an enjoyable time meeting up with other branch members.

We provided tea and coffee for the morning, lunch and afternoon with some luscious cakes made by our members.  We also ran the raffle for the Region and a sales table that we made £80 on for our branch.  So a worthwhile trip.  The speaker was excellent and provided much discussion among members about multi-cultural groups.  I was lucky enough to win a raffle prize and went home with some wine and chocolates along with a colourful hand made bag, so that was my evening sorted with Lewis on the TV that I had recorded earlier.

These are the members of Ryedale who worked so hard all day.  Thanks to Jackie for making the sashes which received several compliments.


Hanging over the front of the table is our new banner bag.  It has a number of squares made by members and all put together by Jackie.  You can just see our banner in the background and now it can be transported around much more safely.
 
The next photos show some of the entries in the Chairman's Challenge which was once again won by Leeds Branch.





The winning entry are the small hangings next to our advent calendar, not a very good photograph I'm afraid but they were voted best by all the members present.  Now I have to go and reveal to our members the new challenge for next year, hope they all like it!
