Following recent events at the Embroiderers' Guild Head Office and the consequent closure of guild branches, with the funds being appropriated by HO we find ourselves having to make some decisions.
We have decided to continue as an independent group, and some of our sister branches have got themselves organised and made the move already. Currently we are sorting out a constitution and various other bits and bobs, not least of which is our new name - a topic of hot debate! Starting as a completely new group without our funds is a bit of a challenge even with a start up grant from HO - not sure when that's going to appear. So we won't disappear but continue in a new guise and hopefully transition this blog to our new identity. Watch this space for updates!
