Trefoil Guild member morning session

Lunchtime - meet the advisers, County team help desk, plus Trefoil Guild members will share some crafts

The cost of this training is the same as previous years, £5 per person, and can be paid for from unit funds. If leaders are unable to attend all day, they can attend for the morning or afternoon session only but the cost remains the same. Drinks will be provided but leaders/Trefoil Guild members should bring a packed lunch.

• All leader bookings must be made via Eventbrite with payment at time of booking. Preferred sessions will be selected as part of booking process. Book early to avoid disappointment!
• Trefoil Guild members can book via Eventbrite or via Gill Howard.

We hope to see you there!
