Lichfield members were delighted with the fashion event and afternoon tea as the charter event. We had wonderful support from the region who all enjoyed the wonderful show put on by Notty Hornblower of the Hope House Museum. We are in double figures as a club and hope to continue into triple!!
Saturday saw us turn out in force to the regional conferenec at Telford Holiday Inn. A good venue and an interesting day. Will write more later!!
