Our Monthly Meetings
We meet every month on the second Wednesday. The only exception to the rule is August, when many of our members seek cooler climes, and it is too hot (even for us) to sew!
Every month we spend an hour or so on business things, and then we may have a demonstration, or a talk, or just time to sit and sew. We are always amazed at how much members manage to achieve in just a month, so our regular 'show and tell' session is always a revelation.
Lunch is a social part of the day - we look forward to seeing you.
In the current Covid-19 pandemic, we are taking extra precautions at Santa Maria. Please ensure you bring your mask with you. Numbers will have to be limited to comply with social distancing. In addition we are looking at holding meetings and workshops using the Zoom platform so that should you need to isolate or our venue needs to close for any reason, we can continue to meet, albeit virtually. If you have not used Zoom before, it is very easy to master. Dial in details will be added to the meeting data below if needs be. Take a short while to ensure you have Zoom set up on your laptop or tablet. We will also be running workshops in the future in this way. It also means that if you cannot get to Santa Maria easily, you can still join us. There is no substitute for face to face contact and we will do it as much as we can, but virtual meetings have become part of society in 2020 and many courses are now being run this way.
November 2020
Our November meeting will be held on Wednesday 11th November at Santa Maria Bowling Club. We meet from 10.00 am for a 10.30 am start. A reminder will be sent out to members closer to the time with a menu so that you can order your lunch. As usual, please bring the projects your are working on and you can bring your sewing machine if you wish to use it for your project. If you can think of any topics that you would like help with, please let us know and we will endeavour to have an answer ready and somebody who can help you. Don't forget your show and tell items!

We will probably start a little later than normal but this will be confirmed nearer the time. If you wish to join us for lunch, please make contact via our contact form on this website.
