We hold General Meetings every two months, except June. There is usually a very short business part, followed by a speaker, demonstration or presentation. After supper (provided) we have Show and Tell where anyone can bring recent work, or something of interest to bookbinders and book lovers.
From 6.15 our shop is open for purchases. It closes once the meeting begins.
The Artist Books Group of QBG meets monthly on the second Friday. It is for those members who enjoy creating different and creative styles of books or a deeper dive into what constitutes a "book". Visitors are welcome but to continue to attend you need to be a QBG member. Attendance is free but there may be a small charge for materials.
