Round the Regions - Northern

At the recent meeting of North Guilds organised this time by Inverness and attended by members from Inverness, Moray, Ross & Cromarty and Sutherland.
The ladies took part in either a Feely Trail or a quiz, various crafts and were entertained by Ian who was introduced as a genealogist so we were expecting a talk on family history, but we think they meant genie-ologist as he performed various magic tricks. The afternoon came to a close with songs around the camp fire. A fun day was had by everyone.

Moray Trefoil
Holiday at Badaguish –  we worked on Autumn themed activities, the Up in the Air Scottish

At our October meeting, members heard from 2 volunteers from Dingwall museum, who shared their knowledge about Dingwall and the history of items they’d brought from Dingwall Museum.

The members enjoyed the talk, seeing the items  brought along, discussing and reminiscing about days gone by.
