WELCOME TO 2012

A very Happy New Year to you all.
I hope you all had a great Christmas with pressies you wanted and then spent the New Year celebrating with loved ones.

New Year for D.A.R.N.i.T. begins with our A.G.M. on the 21st. Thorne Methodist Chapel Meeting Rooms, King Street, Thorne, Doncaster. Meeting begins at 1pm and the A.G.M. will start at 1.30pm.
There will be the usual welcome to our "old" members and we hope, an even warmer welcome to new members. The A.G.M. covers all the usual things and is opened with a "speech" from the Chairperson. This is followed by a report from the Secretary and the Treasurer. As we are a very small charity, this does not take too long. Our "other business" includes voting for the officers, yearly fees, the programme and visitor fees. All this takes no longer than an hour .... usually! A break for a cuppa and biscuits, then we take on a project. At our last meeting, in November, we decided to make our own beads, using magazines, paper and the like and we will begin this project after the conclusion of the meeting. Finishing these beads will happen at our February meeting.
Requirements for the bead making:-
Magazines, coloured papers, or similar products.
PVA glue.
Metal knitting needle.... the size (thickness) will be the size of the hole down the centre of the bead.
Paper cutting equipment. Do not use good scissors!
Ruler.
Patience!

Hope to see you there!
Results of the project will be shown after the February meeting. The full programme will also be put on then too. Something to watch out for!
