This year, the kit-making
party made a good start on 5 new jackets, passing on the noble
and best-forgotten art of rag-jacket making.
Rag Jacket-Making
Party, 17th March 2001
Carey pins while
Jerry prepares to turn good material into rags.
Jennie is
conducting a pagan blessing-the-rags ritual (I think).
Louise gets on
with the pinning, while Chris and Jackie do what they do
best.
Jennie and Nikki
are cutting, while Gill and Louise pin.
Chris and Carey have a rest and a chat.
I'm not
altogether sure when this picture was taken. It may have
been at the kit-making party or a musicians evening (Oh,
the sound of 9 boxes belting away!).
Doug didn't have a ten-foot barge-pole
with him, and just couldn't resist playing the piano
accordian. I will remove this evidence for a small fee.
