Please
note! 'Meet-ups'
and 'Get togethers' are exactly that - they are an informal
way of getting TSG members to meet each other.
'Meet
ups' take place to view exhibitions or specific events
and 'Get togethers' take place at a TSG members house
(usually on a Saturday) and involve 'show 'n' tell',
helping each other, and lots of friendship and fun! 'Meet-ups'are usually
free - except for admission charges where applicable.
For' Get togethers', members normally bring a plate,
i.e. a food dish - usually dessert...
All TSG members are always welcome - just let Linda
know if you wish to come along and she will give you
the details.
