PROGRAM OF EVENTS

Below is the program of events (at the time of writing).  Although many activities are planned throughout each day, there is always room for people to sit and spin or work on their personal creative activities, both in the hall and in the grounds.  Visit and support the many traders who have come to join in the spirit of Bothwell Spin-in 2009.

International guests Sara Lamb and Rassanikone Nanong , and local guest Di McPherson will be available all weekend to talk to the public and demonstrate their skills.  Make sure you introduce yourself and learn about their culture and their craft.  They look forward to answering your many questions and sharing knowledge.

Local Guild members, Maureen Hudson, Di Kearney, Sara Nye, Wendy Billing, Jenny  Leis and Judy Blackburn are all facilitating mini workshops throughout the event.  The cost is minimal so take part and enjoy. 

Support the Spin-in Raffle – fabulous prizes, and all monies raised go to the Red Cross Fire Appeal.
