Good Stitchy Monday Morning to you fine Sir or Lady!
This week is important because we have our ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING on WEDNESDAY 1-2pm in the FREDDIE MERCURY suite (downstairs in Cornwall House). Come and make Stitch live on in the future by standing for or voting on the committee – we need you for Stitch’s survival.
Watch out for taster events in Give It A Go week, where you can try out what other societies do. Stitch recommends the Arts Taster Session: Making the Arts Easier to Digest with EUTCo, Footlights and ArtSoc. Check out the events at exeterguild.org/giag.

Phonic FM will continue broadcasting after the festival for the first time ever this year – check out www.phonic.fm. For more info on the festival, go to www.vibraphonic.co.uk.
