Demonstration Tables

We are always looking for volunteers to share some of their talent with the group. Perhaps you know a new technique or small project idea that would be ideal. It's a good way to raise funds for your favourite charity. You will have free entry for the day and also £5 as a thank you for your time. If you can help, please contact Lynda at 01455 556498 or lyndahill39@gmail.com

Sales table

The sales table is very popular, and is an opportunity to bag a bargain or have a clear out. We will be having 2 sales tables each year. Please price each item in 50p increments as this will make the mental maths easier. Each item needs to have the price and your initials on a pinned or paper-clipped piece of paper on the front of the item so the label can be removed when the item is sold. Volunteers are always needed on sales table days to man the tables. Don't forget to collect your cash and any unsold items before you leave. Rocheberie Quilters will retain 10% of the cost of each item sold to boost our funds. On table top sale days, members can hire a table for £5 and sell their own items. Book in with Lynda before the day please.

Recycling Quilting Magazines

You can donate your unwanted quilting magazines to the group without having to collect them at the end of the day. Magazines will be sold with donations being collected in an honesty box. Unsold magazines will be kept and brought to the next meeting by a committee member.

Cakes

Everyone looks forward to the delicious home-made cakes at Rocheberie meetings. If you are able to bring a your speciality cake, as a thank you, we will give you £2 towards the cost of your ingredients.

Bring Your Own Mug

Please bring your own mug along to meetings - we will be happy to fill your it with tea and coffee (full fat or decaf) for free during the day. If you have any special dietary requirements, please bring your own supplies.

Charity

We are a generous group, and like to support local charities if we can. We have a raffle at every meeting to raise funds for a specific cause. Donations of sewing related items always welcome.
