Cynthia Poole Posted: Thursday, 19 Oct 2017 03:14 I was delighted to see a write up of the TG Memorial Service at Alrewas in a recent issue of the Wolverhampton Express and Star together with a picture of HRH Princess Anne.

Jill Whitehead Posted: Tuesday, 17 Oct 2017 03:03 I'd like to see a report and photos of the TG memorial and the dedication service at the National Memorial Arboretum on this website please.

Cynthia Poole Posted: Thursday, 12 Oct 2017 02:42 With reference to the Memorial Unveiling at Alrewas, I didn't see any mention of it on the MIdlands News either. If a member of the Royal Family is present at anything at the National Memoraial Areboretum at Alrewas, it is usually memtioned on the news.I'm curious why the TG didn't appear.

Cynthia Poole Posted: Wednesday, 11 Oct 2017 10:02 I've been searching for a record on line of the unveiling of the TG Memorial at Alrewas last Thursday but I am disappointed that there aren't any. Have you plans to publish photos,please?

Alison Harris Posted: Thursday, 5 Oct 2017 06:28 The dedication service at the NMA toaday was a wonderful event.Everything was well-organised; the sun shone, Margaret Key spoke so well about the decision to have a TG memorial and the process then followed, and the memorial itself is excellent - simple and striking. It was lovely to meet members from around the country, too. Thank you.

Susan Holder Posted: Wednesday, 27 Apr 2016 07:50 Love the on-line shopping facility!???? out pens arrived today, easy peasey even for me to order and pay for. Thanks to everyone involved. Susan Holder, sec. Penrhyn Bay Guild. Joanne Egan Posted: Monday, 9 May 2016 11:39 Hi Susan, thanks for the great feedback! We are glad you have found the shop easy to use!

Joanne Egan Posted: Thursday, 21 Apr 2016 11:10 Hi Elaine, please see reply from Penny Ryan: I'm very pleased to hear that you've been busy with your needles, we did not want to complicate things too much, so did not add charts for the letters. The easiest way to work out the letters is to make a chart on some squared paper to knit or swiss darn in a contrasting colour. TG is not obligatory on your bunting as we will be asking you to attach a label.

Elaine Light Posted: Tuesday, 19 Apr 2016 09:26 I have just made the knitted bunting as advertised in the Spring Magazine. It's simple and looks effective but I had to cross stitch on T's and G's as the instructions to knit them in were not included in the pattern! Would have been useful!

Cynthia Poole Posted: Wednesday, 14 Oct 2015 04:03 Is it possible to obtain details of the main contacts of other guilds, please? I would like to contact Pelsall and Quarry Bank Guilds to find out about some of their speakers. Thank you. Joanne Egan Posted: Monday, 19 Oct 2015 11:53 Hi Cynthia, Please can you contact TGHQ on 0121 326 0400 to discuss - thank you.

Cynthia Poole Posted: Friday, 11 Sep 2015 10:42 Can you tell me what the total membership of the Townswomen's Guilds is, please, Joanne. Thank you.

Christine Sivyour Posted: Thursday, 21 May 2015 04:00 Weston Village TG History Group is publishing a book entitled "Wartime Memories", containing about 30 accounts of the wartime experiences of some of our members. None of these accounts has been published previously. Initially the book is on sale only to Guild members and their friends. We are having a "launch" on Wednesday June 3rd at Fairfield House, the former home of Haile Selassie in Bath. We should be interested to hear from any other guilds who may have done something similar. Christine Sivyour Christine Sivyour Posted: Tuesday, 21 Jul 2015 08:46 Weston Village TG History Group had a very successful launch day for our book, with over 70 members, friends and guests attending. We sold every copy of the book we had printed, and shall be ordering more copies. We even managed to get a picture and report in the Bath Chronicle, quite an achievement as they do not usually print news from guilds. Although it involved a lot of hard work to produce the book and arrange the "launch", it included many members of the Guild who are not always able to be as active these days (we are fortunate to have a membership of over 90)and everyone feels it has been a very happy and fulfilling event. Susan Allan Posted: Saturday, 30 May 2015 11:13 I was very interested to read about your groups book on wartime memories .All the comments in the media about the W. I. wartime efforts set me wondering what our members were doing at that time .I think I will ask our own members for their memories.Good luck with the book launch its good that those memories will be preserved for futur generations

Elaine Woodcock Posted: Tuesday, 5 May 2015 08:10 In March I joined the Bramley Guild and was made very welcome by all the other members, last Tuesday I went the to the Federation lunch which was very good, the meal was excellent, George Buchanan,s talk on Hodstock Priory was very interesting. It was nice to meet so many other members from other guild,s and to talk about what they did. A very good afternoon out and looking forward to many more. Thank you.

Jane Hayward Posted: Tuesday, 5 May 2015 05:08 Where can I find the TG photos? Joanne Egan Posted: Wednesday, 13 May 2015 10:37 Hi Jane, The photo gallery is in the 'About TG' section under 'Gallery' where you will find a variety of event photographs

Patricia Irvine Posted: Wednesday, 15 Apr 2015 12:57 Pat Irvine Hi Joanne I was looking for long service award order forms and found your answers to others very helpful. Thank you

Joanne Egan Posted: Thursday, 12 Mar 2015 09:41 Hi Josephine, there is no specific sizing for the shawls or cardigans, however the cardigans should have buttons. They should be sent for the attention of Laurence Parkes at TGHQ as we are not collecting them at the AGM. Kind regards, Jo.

Josephine Shaw Posted: Wednesday, 11 Mar 2015 05:22 Please could you give me information about the shawls and baby cardigans for the Addis Ababa Fistula hospital as mentioned in the magazine. Do the shawls need to be a certain size? How do we get them there.? Do the members going to the AGM in Glasgow take them? Thank you.

Sue Davies Posted: Saturday, 28 Feb 2015 03:22 Very disappointed that the "Make & Take" day has been postponed, do we know why?

Ann Buswell Posted: Thursday, 26 Feb 2015 06:03 The new web site looks great but I too am having difficulty accessing sections in member services. I'm trying to open 'Guild Forms and Services' but when I click on this heading it takes me back to the Home page. Then when I try to access Members Area again it asks me to log in although I am already logged in and addressed by name. Have just logged in several times but still no success. Help please Joanne Egan Posted: Friday, 27 Feb 2015 02:34 Hi Ann, this problem has now been rectified so you should be able to log in and download the forms. Kind regards, Jo Egan.

Nesta Hanson Posted: Thursday, 19 Feb 2015 12:05 I am having trouble accessing the member services, when I click on it nothing happens, I have tried logging out and then logging back in to no effect. Any help would be much appreciated. Sue Davies Posted: Thursday, 19 Feb 2015 12:52 If you hover over the members services you will spot a box below that says members area, click on that & you should be ok.

Janet Finn Posted: Thursday, 19 Feb 2015 09:56 i have been unable to find Guild Focus, would you point me in the right direction, please

Sue Davies Posted: Wednesday, 4 Feb 2015 03:55 I used to get some small round stickers with the TG logo on to add to our membership cards, do you have any available with the new logo please?

Cynthia Poole Posted: Tuesday, 3 Feb 2015 03:39 Where can I find Application Forms to join TG Diana Hetherington Posted: Friday, 20 Feb 2015 04:56 I hope someone from HQ has replied to you Cynthia. I am not sure if there are actually Application Forms to join TG. In our Guild, we have made our own simple form for name, address, phone and email for people to fill in when they ask to join. Most come as a visitor a couple of times to try us out!

Stef Shackley Posted: Tuesday, 3 Feb 2015 01:54 Really impressed with the new website and the speedy replies to queries both online and via the office. Well done TG. Joanne Egan Posted: Wednesday, 4 Feb 2015 09:51 Thank you Stephanie, we are glad that you like it and try our utmost to give speedy responses!

Josephine Shaw Posted: Tuesday, 20 Jan 2015 08:11 I have filled in the gift aid form but I am not sure about question 3. Do I tick the first box as our Guild is deregistered and do I put our charity registration number in box A next to it. I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you. Joanne Egan Posted: Wednesday, 28 Jan 2015 02:03 Hi Josephine, I have passed your message onto David Brotherton, Office Manager who will contact you directly about this.

Gina Arnold Pat Newitt Posted: Monday, 21 Sep 2015 01:13 Hi Gina, I had the same problem, found I was going round in circles, could have been made much clearer, website could be improved.

Sharon Towers Posted: Sunday, 11 Jan 2015 02:16 What a lovely new website with plenty to interest members.

Audrey Spicer Posted: Wednesday, 7 Jan 2015 06:11 Only had time for a quick look at the new website, but it's looking good so far, thanks. Just a bit puzzled by the small round TG logo under 'Find a Guild', has this any significance? Joan Cresswell Posted: Thursday, 8 Jan 2015 10:08 Hi Janet - this is a new vintage logo for the website. It doesn't do anything - just visual effect :)

Janice Collins Posted: Wednesday, 7 Jan 2015 04:17 much better web sight well done
