Lynne Williams and Betty Roberts "manning" the Yorkshire Branch Tombola stall

Catherine Davies sent this photo of a tombola of embroidery-related items which was held at the May meeting of Yorkshire Branch. The stall raised over £60 for the new centre in Manchester. Yorkshire Branch have been busy in other ways too. In 2002, two B&B sales tables of embroidery-related items and home-made cakes - a strange mixture, but a successful one - raised a total of £172.35. One member organised a Yorkshire place name quiz, and sold quiz sheets at £1 each. After prizes had been awarded this raised £25.

The Branch has also raised money through personal donations by members who put small amounts of money into an 'Ice-Box' at each meeting. Thank you all for your generosity and hard work!
