January 2017

There were fewer members than usual today, perhaps because it was the weekend before Up Helly Aa.  However everyone took the opportunity to catch up on unfinished work and to use the club resources.

There was some discussion about the 2017 programme and a list of suggestions was drawn up which will be discussed at the AGM on 25 February.  Further suggestions can be forwarded to committee members or put forward at the AGM.  Members should note that this meeting will continue into the afternoon as lunch will be organised. 

February meeting

The February meeting was a whole day meeting with the AGM in the morning and then time for members to work on their own layouts before a lovely lunch from the local Chinese takeaway.  We were able to continue working on our layouts in the afternoon.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Shetland Scrapbookers all members were presented with an apron with an embroidered logo on it - no-one wanted to get these lovely aprons dirty!  We would like to thank local artist Forbes Hogg for designing the logo and John Kemp Ltd in Orkney for doing the embroidery. 

As Julie and Margaret will both be leaving Shetland in the near future, members thought it would be nice to have a photo of the two of them wearing their aprons of course!
