Today we're showcasing the first of our sellers at the Handcrafted Christmas Sale raising funds for Friends of Marple Memorial Park at Hawk Green Reading Room on Sunday 27 November.

It's the wonderful Kathryn E. Procter, who was one of our most popular stalls last year and we're delighted she's returning!

Thanks to those of you who have taken the time to make kind comments in this thread.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank @Howard for his help and support as moderator throughout the forum's heydays.

Just to give a bit of an update on membership, all registered users who haven't logged in for more than 12 months have now been removed.

That will remain the philosophy for the immediate future, so every now and again I'll have a little purge.

I've also added a new board called News and Announcements this morning and moved a few topics that I think may be worth updating in the future.
Sorry to see the forum go but i think it has served its purpose glad you not closing all of the website down were can i find minutes of your monthly meetings i enjoy reading them .

A new album featuring Annie Pott's photo album has been added to the Virtual History Tour

I created a video slide-show of Annie's album back in December 2019 but although I prepared all the images for the VT too it looks like I omitted to upload them. This has been corrected now.
