This evening has been rearranged from the one planned for 12 December. We will meet at Tricia's house to discuss The Aftermath by Rhedian Brook.

Couture Millinery. Speaker: Lucy Bowler.
Lucy's first business venture was in children's craft kits which she successfully ran whilst studying for a degree and raising three children. Upon graduating she decided to become a milliner and has since met and trained with many well known teachers both in the craft and the millinery worlds. Lucy now owns Hilary's Hat Hire in Fritwell and has recently won an international hat design competition.
