Upon completion of the AGM, members were invited to take part in the annual “Bring a Treasure” Event.  This provided members with the opportunity to display a treasured item and to tell of its history and what it means to them.   As always members enjoyed seeing the treasures and hearing the stories about them.  Members then had the opportunity to get together over afternoon tea.
