Welcome Back for 2019-2020

The DCWS Guild held their first meeting after the summer break.  There was a good number of returning members and we encourage anyone wishing to join to drop in and meet the group.  Meetings are Tuesday mornings from 10 - Noon at the Shoal Centre in Sidney.  No fee for an initial drop in - annual membership is $65 per year.

Members were still enthusiastic from participating at the Saanich Fall Fair as was evident with the ribbons on our show & tell table.

We had a lively discussion on our upcoming Show & Sale - 'Fibre Fantasia' will be on at the ArtSea Gallery in Tulista Park, Sidney.  September 27 - October 3rd.  Open from 10am to 4pm.
Demonstrations will be happening throughout the show.
