Next meeting Saturday 13 December

Topic: Christmas morning tea

Members and visitors welcome to celebrate the Festive Season with Inner City Group of the Knitters Guild NSW. A "bring-a-plate" morning tea and Kris Kringle. If you are coming to this meeting, and you would like to participate in our Kris Kringle, then please bring along a wrapped "knitty or crochet" gift to the value of $10 (e.g. a pattern, needles, accessory). Gifts will be numbered and a lucky-dip will happen - be surprised - and we'll make sure you don't get your own gift back in the draw. A great time to meet and socialise with Inner City Group.

If you have any inquiries about this meeting or the Inner City Group - please email the Convenor:
convenor AT innercity.knittersguildnsw.org.au

Season's Greetings and Happy Knitting and Crocheting in 2009.
