September meeting

Congratulations to Frank and Wilma Adriaensen on
celebrating their 50th Anniversary!!

Thank you Fay Boyland for the
very delicious cake in their honour!

Our program at the September meeting featured
Trevor Nash leading us through the Uncial alphabet.

Thanks Trevor!!

The mail on date is getting closer for the November workshop! don't miss that date!!

And now on to the October meeting. Sharpen up your carpenter pencils! Nan is going to show us some of the techniques she learned in a class last year. See the newsletter for the supplies you need to bring to the meeting. See you then!!

September is closing in on us!

That means we have a meeting coming up on the 13th. Kind of like going back to school...a new beginning. The first program back will be Trevor leading us through some Uncials. We need a bit of a refresher for our November workshop with Peter Thornton. We have asked him for

"Layout and Design for the Terrified"

(he uses Uncials in his layout class)

We will also be having a day of "Carolingian".

Watch for the Autumn issue of the Broad Edge for workshop details and the registration form. Bring your regular calligraphy gear to the meeting - nibs, holders, ink, paper, pencil, eraser, ruler and lots of enthusiasm!

The John Neal catalogue will be there in case anyone needs some supplies, we can get an order together.

See you in September!

Happy 90th Birthday Dorothy!!

After being so amazing at Diana's last weekend in not letting on that we would really be celebrating Dorothy's birthday on the actual day, August 23rd, calligraphers were very well represented at the afternoon party!



I am hoping that Eileen captured some pics of Kathleen and Jean. I don't know how I managed to miss them!

More Luncheon photos

Thank you to Eileen for sending some more photos from our guild luncheon at Diana's.





Here is Diana with her mom Dorothy and the basket full of birthday cards for her 90th. Were we good or what?! Dorothy didn't suspect a thing about her real birthday party to be held on August 23rd.
