Any current Guild member can stand for election onto the committee. The various posts are decided at AGMs and amongst the committee. Please see your 'Quillers Today' magazine for a full list of addresses.
| CHAIRMAN: Jayne Horner is our Chairman. 'My first experience with Quilling was through the Regional Rep. An event was arranged and my interest was sparked. I quietly beavered away at home, practising getting the tension right so my quilled pieces were even and suddenly I was hooked completely. That was over five years ago. I went to the Festival at York in 2002 and became the secretary on the Guild Committee. I have just taken over as Chairman. My interests are generally around card making of all kinds.' |
| VICE-CHAIRMAN & PUBLICATIONS OFFICER: | Sheila Jones: 'I have been a member of the Quilling Guild for over fifteen years. When I am not quilling, I enjoy other paper crafts and water colour painting. For several years my husband, David, and I have had the pleasure of boarding trainee guide dogs. We are also involved with the local Twinning Association and are regular visitors to our twinned town, Chambourcy, near Paris.' Sheila hosted our AGM visit to Lutterworth. You can contact her to buy our publications about quilling, also such things as Guild calendars, notelets, etc. |
| SECRETARY: Paul Jenkins is our Secretary. 'I was one of the founder members of the Guild, one of the first Chairmen, and have held several committee posts over the years. At the moment, I'm also updating the website. I’m proud to have been associated with the remarkable people who have moved us on since we started. We have a diversity of interests in quilling amongst our members. Just a look around an Annual Display of Work's or Festival’s regional tables and competitions shows that our members bring so much of themselves into the craft they enjoy. That’s what I like most about supporting the Guild – to see that, however different our styles and subjects, we all share and enjoy the same craft.' If you are interested in learning to quill, or need information, you can contact the Guild by writing to: The Secretary, The Quilling Guild, 33, Mill Rise, Skidby, Cottingham, East Yorkshire, HU16 5UA, UK, or by email to guild@quilling.karoo.co.uk or to Jayne Horner for specific enquiries. However, our General Enquiries Officer Marjorie Wolstenholme will be able to help with general enquiries or point you in the right direction. You can write to her (see below). |
| TREASURER: Janet Hunt is our treasurer. She has lots of experience in money matters. She keeps our accounts and pays our bills, and is the person who can maybe help to fund some of your regional group's projects, particularly if they introduce people to Quilling and the Guild. |
| MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY: Beth Henderson is our membership secretary. In October and November, members send their membership fees to her and she sends out membership cards, lets your Regional Rep know you are there and makes sure you have your Quillers Today magazines sent to you three times a year. If you'd like to join, have a look at our membership page for all the information. |
| ARCHIVIST: Janet Hunt is looking after our archives at present. She is starting the process of re-cataloguing them. You could contact Marjorie, as General Enquiries Officer, if you want to ask about them. We have quillings old and new in our collection, as well as pictures. If you would like to arrange the loan of any items, please outline your plans and we'll see what we can do. Any members who are interested in taking up this interesting role, please contact a member of the committee. This is a non-committee role. |
ACCREDITATION OFFICERS: Jayne Horner is our Accreditation Officer, answering queries about the accreditation scheme and registering members for it. If you are interested in Higher Level Accreditation, please contact Helen Barley for information or to buy a Higher Accreditation Pack. Please see our 'Accreditation' page.
WEB SITE OFFICER: Paul Jenkins is the person to contact if you have any questions about the website or would like to add your event or meetings to our Diary of Events. Just post a note or send an email.
OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS: We are delighted that Peter Herring has rejoined the Committee. He offered and was duly elected at the 2008 AGM in Birstall. He is the person who will advise and support Regional Reps who hold an Annual Display of Work and AGM in their area, helping them with preparation and guiding them generally. With his help, hosting a Display will be a lot easier for local groups. He also organises Gift Aid donations, which are an important boost to our funds. There is more information on the membership applications page.
We also have on the team Audrey Matthews, who had attended several committee meetings while arranging the venue for the 2008 Annual Display of Work and AGM and has been an enthusiastic member of the committee.
EDITOR OF QUILLERS TODAY: Our editor, starting with the Autumn edition, is Christine Herring. Hers is a non-committee role. If you have anything to send to Christine do not hesitate to do so. Please see more information in your Quillers Today magazine. It can be news from your meetings or events, questions or information about your own quilling. If you have made a quilled card but don't find it easy to draw a design for it, contact Christine or Jane Jenkins and they'll arrange for that to happen. We love to see your cards in the magazine. Don't be bashful - we don't have to be experts to create a card to admire.
REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES: Please see the back pages of 'Quillers Today', our magazine for members, for a list of your Reps.
