2012 DIARY
Following the success of our Guild craft shows in 2011 we are including NEW venues in NEW locations in 2012.
All the items for sale are designed and hand crafted by our members.
Their work is of a high quality and original so you will be purchasing a unique gift.
All our members are able to tell you how they created the items and often give demonstrations during the day.
Entry to our shows is free.
Our main aim is to promote the interest in crafts and the skills involved.
The shows are open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Delicious bacon butties, homemade cakes, teas and coffees will be available all day.

The public watched demonstrations, did workshops and found out about the guild from the members.
TWO NEW VENUES AUTUMN 2010
NEW! Saturday September 11. Farnham Memorial Hall, West Street/Babbs Mead, GU9 7EE.
Quite a good day but date clashed with 'Heritage day' in Farnham so there were a lot of other free events.
Good support for our first try at this venue, will probably return in 2011
SOUTHWOOD COMMUNITY CENTRE Saturday 4th December Links way, Farnborough, GU14 0A
(opposite Morrisons Supermarket) Cancelled because of the snow
2009
2 successful and popular visits to Southwood Community Centre, Links Way, Farnborough
Visits to both the Malls in Farnborough
and visitors at both shows at S. Peter's Parish Centre, Frimley were very complimentary on the range of interesting crafts, the refreshments and chance to 'have a go' a some of the crafts.
