The last six months have been very interesting and successful.  We enrolled three new members on Thinking Day.

Anne Ketterman gave us a most fantastic talk about St Mary's House at Bramber.  If any Trefoil Guilds are looking for a special meeting, ask Ann from Steyning and Bramber Guild. (She is in the address book).  We are hoping to visit St Mary's House in August.

We had a most enjoyable Christmas Meal at the Swiss Cottage.

On Thinking Day evening, Jon and Jeanette Simpson (specialists in all things in Japan) gave us a talk on the customs and traditional dresses of the Japanese, showing us a selection of beautifully embroidered Kimonos in silk fabric.  Sarah wore the brides kimono, this was a fabulous dress with such intricate patterns. (picture shows Sarah in the Wedding Dress)

Our Trefoil joined other members of the Guide movement at a Thinking Day Service at Lancing College.

The Country Dance at St Michaels Church Hall was cancelled due to the snow and icy weather. (See new programme)

All members are busy making their Centenary Squares for a patchwork quilt tablecloth which will have the Trefoil and Southwick's Logo displayed on a red background.

The Southwick Logo for our website has been designed by our members.

We shall be joining up with Southwick District Guides and Brownies to plant a Centenary Tree in the grounds of St Michaels Church, Southwick.

A day at Hillside campsite in Small Dole is planned, all Trefoil members will be welcome.  The camp will take place on June 29th.

Once a month we have a 'Natter' afternoon for a couple of hours.  This is a very good way for all members to really get to know one another and new ideas are born.
