Leigh Spinners Mill

A group of 6 of us from guild went to the Guild Exhibition at Leigh Spinners Mill on 6th September. It was a bit like the song as we went on a train, tram and guided bus, leaving New St at 10 am and arriving at the mill around 1pm. Thanks to Kate and some assistance by her brother in law we arrived without any problems at this amazing building. We quickly found the cafe with the help of a member of staff (or he might have been a volunteer) who helped us negotiate the old fashioned lift. We had lunch and met Jane in the cafe. The staff were lovely. We found the exhibition on the 3rd floor and spent nearly 2 hours admiring the skills and creativity of many of the members. Here are some of the photos I took, not in any particular order. Of course we checked out our members' exhibits first! Apologies to Rachel and Sarah as I don't seem to have photos of your exhibits
We arrived back at home around 8 o'clock, very tired and hungry. It was a good day with lots of time for chatting and knitting too. I hope Charlotte has finished her Dad's scarf in time for his birthday!
