Nearly 50 members from every county in the East Midlands region as well as beyond enjoyed our second regional open day at the Holiday Inn Rugby/Northampton. Thanks go to Merry Metcalf, Peter Bellingham and Richard Dimmock for their time and effort in preparing sessions to teach us new skills. Especially to Peter who had an arduous journey through floods to arrive on time. We were able to learn about crafts, cartooning and magic which were all fun. It was lovely to see regular attendees of our regional events as well as many new faces. Former Travel Show presenter Matthew Collins had us chuckling at his humour talk, ably assisted by his son Nicolai, and several members purchased a signed copy of one of Matthew's books. The evening buffet was plentiful and delicious with the tables beautifully decorated with flowers and candles. Following the meal there was a general knowledge quiz where answering the questions correctly revealed a proverb. Congratulations to Nicky Watson and Chris Padley from Lincoln who won by one point. Some guests then departed whilst others stayed chatting or playing games until the bar closed.
