I belong to 2 groupsd, both meeting for 2 hours once per month. One is very small, 7 members and we meet in each others homes. We generally just chat (and swap ideas) and take along something to hand quilt. No talks or fees. The other group is larger about 26 members (not all turn up to every meeting. We pay a small annual fee: this is for the rent of the hall we use. One lady organises the 10 meetings (no meeting in July and August). She asks us all for ideas for the following year and if any of us have been on workshops we take turns in running "lessons" and pass the info. we have learned on to the group. Some years we do different projects but this year we are each doing a child's charity quilt, same design but different colours. I love both groups I belong to as all the ladies are lovely and we all help if we have any newcomers who have never quilted before. (I suppose I really belong to 3 groups, I forgot to count this one and truthfully I learn more off here than the other 2. Keep up the good work) Anne
