Our exhibition will held in conjunction with the Quilt and Craft show at Darling Harbour from 27 June to 1 July, 2007

It is in celebration of the 60th anniversary of our guild and will be our diamond anniversary. The videotape made of the last exhibition in 1997 was shown at the November meeting and I borrowed it to watch during the Christmas break. I was most impressed with the scale of the exhibition and the number of people involved with putting it together.

This time we will have less space and the Guild has fewer members to make exhibits or to help with the work that goes into it. That doesn't mean that we can't produce something very special and I have already heard some interesting ideas.

For those people who like to work to a theme, perhaps you can use the fact that it is our diamond anniversary as your inspiration.

The guidelines and entry forms are being sent out with the February newsletter and there will be requests for volunteers in the next few issues. I imagine that most of you have no idea yet if and when you will be available in June. Jenny Hopper has volunteered to manage the sales area and Barbara Kerle will co-ordinate the data entry and catalogue. They will both need some help just before and during the exhibition. We need someone or two or three to organise the demonstration area so if this appeals to you let me know.

Thank you to Lisa Waller and Barbara Williams from Newcastle who have offered to assist with publicity and display and to Elizabeth Trappl from Dorrigo who will come to Sydney for the exhibition and would like to be involved. By the time you receive this newsletter you will have about three and a half months to work on your entries or have you already finished them?
