If no such arrangement exists in your area, perhaps you could arrange to share a ride with someone else! If you have a spare seat in your car or coach please let us know and we will put a small ad on the web site.

Last Year...
Dorothy Holness' workshop on monochrome painting surpassed all previous workshops with a record number of 45 participants. It was held in a church hall a short ride across Bristol and Pat arranged for a mini bus to take everyone and bring them back.

Thank you to Bristol Exhibition
Pat Hosking has asked us to give a big thank you in print for all donations which were so generously given at the Bristol Exhibition for her grand-daughter’s campaign to raise money for the Bristol Royal Children's Hospital.  Jemma was taken ill earlier this year and eventually needed a heart transplant.  She has made brilliant progress and wanted to support the hospital where she was so wonderfully treated for some weeks.  So far she has raised £3,825, of which £275 was given to Pat at the Bristol Exhibition.
Workshops will be held the following day at a different venue a short distance away. Transportation will be arranged.

The big day is drawing near and the organisers have been working hard to ensure that everything is ready for the opening on 24th June. Exhibitors and demonstrators from all over the UK, as well as Belgium, France and Italy, have registered and their tables booked, ready to receive the thousands of beautiful pieces of magical parchment craft that will, once again, send us all into raptures. The Parchment Craft Guild and the Association of Parchment Crafters will be present to provide help and information to members and those wishing to become members. The Parchment Craft Magazine will also be present so it will be an opportunity for visitors to subscribe and also browse and purchase back copies of the magazine. Three craft shops will also be participating this year, all brimming with mouth-watering parchment craft supplies. The usual cafeteria will be there to supply the much needed cups of tea and coffee and snacks to keep us going and there will be a seating area for visitors to sit and catch their breath.

Two of our most known and loved parchment craft tutors will be holding workshops - Linda Williams, Pergamano Master Tutor will run two-hour sessions on the day in the exhibition centre - Ria Van Avondt, Pergamano Tutor from Belgium will run a day long workshop at a venue nearby on Monday, 25th June. Places are still available on both these courses so if you would like to participate please download the forms (see below) and get them in the post as soon as possible.

Would you like to demonstrate or exhibit next year?

Tables are supplied free of charge by the organiser as well as lunch, including tea, coffee and bottled water. Selling your own designs is permitted but the organiser would be very grateful for 10% of the takings to go towards the cost of the lunches and venue.

Accommodation for demonstrators can be arranged, upon request.
