We meet on the Second Saturday of each month (except during August) between 10:00am and 4:00pm. 
If you would like to visit us during our regular guild meetings you are always welcome, just arrive any time from 10am.
There are often workshops and talks in the mornings and afternoons are mostly about meeting up, chatting and sharing skills.
