Welcome to the Sampler Guild 'Forthcoming Events' page. The Sampler Guild has a constantly changing programme of events such as 'Meet-ups' (attending exhibitions, classes etc. as a group) and 'Get togethers' (meeting at TSG members houses) throughout the year, across the U.K. and sometimes abroad. 'Meet-ups' are free unless admission charges or class charges are incurred. 'Get togethers' are completely free, just get there and bring something to eat. If you are thinking of arranging a 'Get together' or 'Meet-up' in your area, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can notify other TSG members, both on this page and in the TSG Newsletter. See the bottom of this page for more information. This page changes frequently so drop in and have a browse every now and then.

Remember for comprehensive coverage of what's happening, check your newsletter.

Get Together - Soltau Centre, Maidenhead, Berkshire - Sat. 28^th Jan. 2012

TSG again hired the local church hall near Pinkneys Green from 10.00am to 4.30pm. It was a lovely day, well attended and people didn't even start to think about leaving until after 4.30 when it was getting dark. Next one is Saturday 11th August.

Get Together - Marjan's House, Sonning, Berkshire - Sat. 17^th March 2012

Always a very popular event, Marjan has very kindly offered the use of her house for a Get Together. Usual format - bring a plate for lunch, work in progress and enjoy yourself!

Meet Up - Heritage Centre, Canvey Island, Essex Saturday 21st April, 2012

This has now evolved into a bi-annual event, and the reason for that is the lovely ladies of Canvey Island Stitching Group make us feel so welcome! We have a wonderful day (11 to 4) sharing our stitching with them. As usual, bring a plate and work in progress.

Get Together - Soltau Centre, Maidenhead, Berkshire - Sat. 11th August 2012

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note! 'Meet-ups' and 'Get togethers' are exactly that - they are an informal way of getting TSG members to meet each other. 'Meet ups' take place to view exhibitions or specific events and 'Get togethers' take place at a TSG members house (usually on a Saturday) and involve 'show 'n' tell', helping each other, and lots of friendship and fun! 'Meet-ups'are usually free - except for admission charges where applicable. For' Get togethers', members normally bring a plate, i.e. a food dish - usually dessert...

All TSG members are always welcome - just let Linda know if you wish to come along and she will give you the details.

Please note that many more 'Forthcoming Events' are featured in The Sampler Guild newsletter.
