January 2015 Group Meeting
Hello there.
Today the group met up for our first 2015 meeting. There was plenty of discussion about the group's upcoming Bi-annual show on 21 - 22 March (save the date!) and it was good to catch up on what everyone has been doing over the Christmas and New Years break.
There was plenty to look at during show and tell:
Also, another event was mentioned at today's meeting as a "must go to see" before it ends:
**THE FASHION WORLD OF JEAN PAUL GAULTIER - NGV MELBOURNE**
When: Until 8 February 2015
Where: National Gallery of Victoria, St Kilda Rd, Melbourne
What: The first international exhibition of the unconventional and playfully irreverent designs of Jean Paul Gaultier. See NGV website for details.
TPG members are reminded to get in your quilt registration forms for our March exhibition as soon as possible, along with the volunteering forms. The group's AGM takes place at our next meeting on 21 February and all Committee members are reminded to forward their role reports in time for this meeting. New nominations and re-nominations for various roles within the group will also need to finalised at this meeting. Memberships also need to be paid up in full at the February meeting (fees have not increased and an email will be forwarded reminding members).
And last but not least, at our February meeting we will have a guest speaker from Banksia Palliative Care attending which means there will be a morning tea/brunch if everyone can bring a small plate of food.
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
