This is a chance for a few of us to convey our appreciation and show it is not all take and no give.

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.
