February 3rd


 Unfortunately the booked speaker has had to cancel. 

Ruth Turner has bravely stepped into the breach and agreed to give a talk. I’m not sure of the topic at the moment but I’m certain it will be extremely interesting. Thanks Ruth.

Please bring your piece of mapmaking sewing with you and Stevie will give tips on making it into a page.

Programme 2026

 


October’s meeting

 A really interesting meeting with lots of ideas for places and landmarks to consider when making our maps. 

A 7 inch square was decided on as the most appropriate size for the pages which can then be bound into a book.

There were lots of examples to draw ideas from and most people ended up with a rough plan and some even had a firm plan.
