Cornbow Exhibition 2017
2017-11-20 - 2017-12-03
Each year we are given a display cabinet at the Cornbow Centre in Halesowen, for a period of two weeks, to display some of our work. This always attracts a lot of interest from the public and we have found new members through this event on ore than one occasion.

AGM and Christmas Social

On this evening we will conduct our annual general meeting, with all the usual reports from the committee, and afterwards have our Christmas Social. Visitors are welcome, but it will probably be a rather boring evening for them, as during the AGM all they can do is listen. This will be our first meeting at the Broadway campus of the Dudley College.
