May 2023 Meeting is Cancelled

The May Meeting of the Northern Ireland Patchwork Guild is cancelled.

MAY WELCOME

It must be spring because I have little blue butterflies fluttering around my holly tree. Who doesn’t love butterflies. These are called Holly Blue – more information here  https://butterfly-conservation.org/butterflies/holly-blue  

How to identify

The holly blue is a bright blue butterfly; females have black wing edges. It is smaller than the very rare large blue, and a lot larger than the tiny small blue. It is distinguished from all the other blues by the black spots on its silvery-blue underside – other blues sport orange spots.

 My latest horticultural nonesense is a hanging basket filled with tumbling tomatoes (needs more sunshine!)

PLEASE REMEMBER

 that there is no guild meeting in the folk museum in MAY

HOWEVER 

Our exhibition `A walk in the Park` will be on display in the Curve gallery, Bangor Library, Hamilton Road from 4^th to 30^th May inclusive

AND

The official opening will be on Friday 5^th May at 2.00pm.  Soft drinks and buscuits will be available.

Do come and bring your friends.

NOW SERIOUSLY 

I have been talking about needing new members for the committee for a while but, seriously, if no body steps up to fill the vacancies the guild could be in a crisis situation and might be unable to continue.  Several of the vacant posts could readily be shared by two chums.

Please have a think, talk to your chums. Are you able to help secure a future for your guild?

AND FINALLY

It would be great to see you at the opening, or if not, enjoy the Coronation holiday and maybe see you at the AGM on June 3rd?

Best wishes
