Minutes of Cosby Quilters Meeting on 3rd January 2025 at 10am.

Apologies Sue Wilson, Viv, Pam

Feedback from October, November, and Decembers meetings was all

positive and it was thought that the 45 members who attended

particularly enjoyed the Christmas practical and the social interaction

that went with it.

Big Textile Show : The travelling book theme proved very popular with a

lot of the groups who came to the stall interested in doing much of the

same with their own groups.

Financial Update

We have around £2500 in the bank.

The income on the raffle is down but sales table income up.

Jo wondered if we should give different raffle prizes and we thought

wine or a plant sometime would be a good idea.

Yarn Bomb

There isn’t a yarn bomb this year but the theme for next year is” Around

the world in 80 displays.”

Travelling Books

Continuing into next year.

AGM

Minutes to be put on the blog

Rosie Irvine and Bronwyn to be asked if they would be interested in

joining the committee.

Membership Fees to continue at £30 a year with £5 as a visitor.

AOB

The problem with the insurance and only two visits allowed before

becoming a member was discussed. Jan had contacted the Quilters

Guild re the idea of having a day membership, a summer or winter

membership, and yearly membership. They said that if the club decided

to have two types of membership they would need to join the guild for

both memberships with them also paying two insurances..

More to be discussed re this.

Sue also mentioned the problem with not hanging the big quilts up at

the Big Textile Show and explained how we could get round the

problem. To bear that in mind for next time.!

Meeting finished at 11.30am.
