Message from the Chair
This year has certainly been challenging for us all. The majority of craft events had to be cancelled and we were not able to organise any as Weald Crafts.
I hope that as we see the introduction of a vaccine that we will be able to return to some sort of normality next year. Below are details of the events that we hope to be able to run, although they remain subject to whatever restrictions may be in force at the time. In the early part of the year we may have to adapt and adjust the way that we attend the events and the committee will keep you informed of our proposals when they are known.
It is possible that we may need to hold our Annual General Meeting which is planned for Thursday 25th February in a different way or with a restricted attendance. Once we have clarification I will let you know. As a result we will not this year be handing out booking forms at the AGM but will be emailing to members immediately after the AGM. Again, more details when known.
In the meantime may I wish all members and their families best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Hope to see you all in 2021.
2021 Events
The following events are scheduled for next year, subject to confirmation and any government restrictions:-

Subscriptions 2021
The committee has agreed that due to the cancellation of the entire 2020 programme it was only fair that the subscription that was paid for 2020 will be carried forward and cover 2021 as well. At the moment we hope that all current members will wish to continue their membership. You will have received a renewal form for 2021 which we need all members to complete and return as soon as possible. This will enable us to update our records. This form also includes your two £5 vouchers to use at 2021 events.
If any member does not wish to continue their membership of Weald Crafts please will you kindly inform the Membership Secretary in order that your details can be removed from our records.
