Events
Our 2025 calendar of events is nearly complete. We have a meeting night on the last Monday of every month, except December. This takes place even on public holidays.
​
We have two in-house competitions for the year. These are to be judged in June and November. This year they are Miniatures, which are books with no dimension greater than 65mm, and Chelsea Cloth. The Guild provides members with a quantity of Chelsea cloth in a range of colours, and members can make anything they wish to from it.
​
We have scheduled demonstrations and/or talks for most of the year.
​
All of our meeting nights start at 7:00pm, and are held at McDougall House on Clydesdale Street in Como.
