Hello Everyone again,
Sorry to bother you again, but I had no sooner sent out my last missive when Laura e-mailed me about the next meeting. I can do no better than paraphrase her own words: "Wheel speed dating is about letting people try different wheels they've admired from afar, but never had a go with for fear of messing up someone's project. We need people willing to let others try their wheel and people willing to have a go. It would be best if people have an empty bobbin on the wheel with a leader in place. We'll set these wheels up in one area and mark them with red ribbon (people can supply their own, but I'll bring some too). It might be useful to hang a tag on the wheel with the owners name on too, and any requests ( I'll be asking anyone who wants to try my sonata to take their shoes off, for example) Willing participants need to bring their own, clean fibre (as not everyone will want lanolin left in their orifice!). It would be preferable if it is a fibre they are already familiar with and comfortable using as this will reduce the learning curve on different wheels. I can bring some extra fibre along just in case. We'll let people try a wheel for about 20 minutes and then I'll ring my bell and everyone can move round. At the end, participants will have tried different wheels and wheel owners will have a varied yarn as dubious payment for their generosity and trust. Hopefully Colin is coming along to help everyone show their wheels some love - he could be sorely needed after this!" Don't forget we will be at the new venue, St Giles Community Centre, Desborough NN14 2NP. if anyone is confused about any of this, please do email me, as I have a smart phone and should be able to respond. [Word to the wise - when my daughter got married at this church, despite the fact she included the postcode and a map in the invitation, two lots of guests went to St Giles in Northampton! Too much initiative can be a bad thing. The AA route planner says it is 3.7 miles from Stoke Albany village hall.] Hopefully see you on the 6th.
