FIFTY-three members and three visitors joined us for our June meeting, which was as usual very enjoyable.

We were able to welcome Marie Hampton, who showed us very up-to-date methods of stamping using new ink pens and water brushes, giving a superb water colour effect to pictures or cards.

Members were given the opportunity for hands-on experience and some excellent results were achieved.

Judith Scott, our president, reminded about our special 40th birthday celebration evening at Broadhouse Farm Cutnall Green on July 12.

The flower of the month was won by Jill Gallagher with her beautiful clematis and the 40th birthday card competition was won by Rita Massey.
