West Surrey guild

The West Surrey Guild was first formed 46 years ago in 1979 with just a few members but has increased to our current level of about 50 members.   We meet several times a month at various locations (shown below) and have a varied programme of events, including spinning and weaving craft days, workshops, guest speakers and social get-togethers.

We offer a range of venues and timings in order to allow as many members as possible to meet up.
