Wednesday 25 January 2012

Hi, we're back meeting regularly on Wednesday's, here are some photos, the 'Bookies' group have had their first sample day and meeting to nut out what to do for the rest of the year.  There has been the first ATC (artist trading card) swap for the year.  This was a challenge using a beer coaster that was found at the pub where Bookies had their Christmas party luncheon last year.  Unfortunately I don't have a whole coaster to show you.  sorry...  There are also some photos of some of the show and tell that was handed around.
