A group of members enjoyed a 'behind the scenes' visit to the textiles team at Cotehele. We had a tour of the wonderful embroideries around the house, including some real treasures which are too fragile for regular display. In the afternoon we saw work progressing on the 4 panels depicting the history of the house. Number 1 is complete and usually displayed in the house. We will soon be seeing number 2 in place. Number 3 is almost finished and number 4, which brings the story up to the National Trust taking over, is about to be started. We enjoyed seeing the work up close and were amazed at the skill of the team who work there each week. Katie, the designer told us the stories in each panel and how she prepares for the work to be done.

We chose 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' for our entry in Callington Show, which took second place.

We were pleased to welcome our Parish Town Crier, Hilary Fairhurst, to the meeting this evening. In addition to her interesting talk about her role, her regalia and her background, Hilary also gave us a special 'cry' to wish happy birthday to two of our members, Pat and Verona. We learnt about the history and traditions of Town Crying, which goes way back into history and is mentioned in the Bible and depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry.

We look forward to welcoming Hilary to speak to us on Wednesday 20th. Remember your favourite recipe book for the compe...
