I realised today that, as a tutor, it was very difficult to keep track of new groups that form.
People looking for a group to join must also have the same problems.
People looking for a group to join must also have the same problems.
So I am in the process of setting up a new website dedicated to textile groups (any fibre or stitch related group), that meet in the UK.
It will also include a list of tutors who offer lectures and workshops.
I'm in the very early stages (I just registered my domain name 5 minutes ago!).
If you would like your group listed please let me know - I need the NAME OF THE GROUP, SHORT DESCRIPTION, WHERE YOU MEET, WHEN YOU MEET, A CONTACT PERSONS INFO (email maybe also phone), WEBSITE (if you have one).
If you are a tutor who would like to advertise your talks and workshops to groups please contact me too - with name, email, phone, details of workshops and lectures, areas covered, website.
There will be a very small nominal fee to advertise tutors / speakers.
PLEASE SHARE AND SPREAD THE NEWS to everyone you know who is involved in stitchery and fibre arts, its the only way this can work.
THANK YOU

Sounds like an excellent idea Helen. I have just emailed the organisers of our group so it can be discussed at the next meeting. I don't know whether you are a member of the Contemporary Group of the Quilter's Guld, if so it's worth putting out a message on their Yahoo Group.
