BOOK LAUNCH
Book Launch. Sunday 7th November. On behalf of Vandra and myself, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the Artisans’ Guild and the members who attended and helped make this a successful event. In the past, I have attended many launches and they can be risky ventures which can easily fall flat. So again, a huge thank you to members, friends, and fellow authors who attended – your efforts were much appreciated. (Thanks Peter for the photos) Maurice Hardy

Our guests were invited to enjoy the art and craftwork on display as well as the extensive array of food and drinks provided by our Members.
A huge thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this such a wonderful and pleasant event. The huge variety and abundance of food made ‘doggie’ bags popular. Well done to all.
