The meeting on 7th January will be slightly different as we are going to have a fabric swap. Each member pays £5 entry fee and gets 10 tickets. Visitors pay £7 entry fee and get 10 tickets (or can join on the day). People have a clear-out and bring in any fabrics, threads, beads, buttons, haberdashery or old napery (table linen) in small bags or bundles. Try to make each item worth at least 50 pence so it can be paid for with one ticket. Everyone can do the rounds and “buy” up their 10 tickets worth and even buy more tickets. This will generate funds for ACS, plus for the members it will enable them to vary their stash without necessarily increasing it, to reduce their stash, or obtain something for a current or new project.
Be aware when bagging, bundling or cutting that each item will cost one ticket so make it not too large or too small but Goldilocks size and so good value for money.
So get going! Raid your loft, spare room, craft cupboard, or wherever you hoard your crafting items and bring in your excess (or donate it if you are unable to come to the meeting on 7th January) and revel in the delight of obtaining new goodies without the show prices. And, of course, feel proud and righteous that you have parted with some!!! Anything left at the end will be held over for the Sales Table at the February meeting.
