The 66th Annual May 5/6/7, 2017
Special Awards
| Best of Show – Sean Dalgetty – gun case | Best Fellow Piece – Sean Dalgetty – gun case |
| Best General – Barbara Chynoweth – flask | Best Buckle – Bob Pfister |
The Special Awards are printed as four photographs in a two-by-two grid, each with its own caption beneath it; the captions are set out here in that arrangement. Read straight across, each row of two ran together into one line. Sean Dalgetty’s gun case took both Best of Show and Best Fellow Piece — two separate awards for the one piece, as the two photographs show.
All ready to go to the Annual
The cover heading plainly reads "The 66th Annual", but the AGM report on pages 11-12 of this same issue twice calls the same weekend the "67th Annual General Meeting". Both are kept exactly as printed.

This page's two headings had come apart into four garbled fragments ("Salon A" / "Craftsman" / "Awards" / "n Awards") with the entries misgrouped between them. The page is in fact two photo grids, "Salon Awards" (six photos) then "Craftsman Awards" (two), each already correctly captioned; they are regrouped below to match the page.
Salon Awards
Sean Dalgetty – gun Case
Elena Godbout – picture
Eugene Pik – molded purse
Eugene Pik – leather tankard
Eugene Pik – guitar strap
Karen Weber – teal belt
Craftsman Awards
Katelyn Burger – pixie bag
Sheena Burger – flask

Eight photo captions of 2017 Annual award presentations, continuing the "Salon Awards" list begun on page 5. This page prints "Sean Dagetty" unambiguously; page 5’s own Salon Awards list names Sean Dalgetty for the same gun case.
Page 7
The captions are set here in the order of the page’s own two columns. There are no award headings on this page, unlike the one before: it is a members’ showcase gallery, not an award list.
Eugene Pik – molded purse
Eugene Pik – leather tankard
Eugene Pik – guitar strap
Eugene Pik – English saddle
Karen Weber – teal belt
Kim Winchester – carved mug
Why was the belt arrested? Because it held up some pants!
Kim Winchester – costrel

Annual Meeting Report – CSCL 67th Annual General Meeting Hamilton May 5, 6 & 7, 2017
The Annual Weekend commenced with table display set-ups on Friday afternoon, Society branches from Hamilton, Mississauga, Norland and Members-at-Large were represented. The meeting room was convivial and the table space was plentiful. With help from members from all the branches the program, and leather pieces for the workshops were stuffed into envelopes and a Welcome Table (of sorts) was established manned by volunteers. The evening workshop was covering steel blocks with leather to be used as pattern weights. The Fellows took to Judging the entries starting at 9:45pm and continued while the workshop was on.
Saturday’s Business Meeting was completed in time to send groups to visit Tundra Leather on King Street, while the groups were shuttling, lunch was available in the Paparella’s. The afternoon program was a busy one for our 27 attendees with two workshops, a pivoting Card Case and a small Folded Leather Tray. The ticket sales were brisk for the “luna” table (white elephant donations) and the Presidents Table with donations from Life Members, Sustaining Members, Branch Presidents, and Generous Businesses. See list of the Contributors below. The sale of large cutting boards added to the proceeds. While the raffles and projects continued our hard working members were graced by two beautiful North American Kestrels, visiting with their
Owner/Handlers, Mark and Sandra. The attendees were able to see the birds at close range and observe them feeding.
The Banquet was an excellent buffet style meal that fed 38 people plus Smokey & the Bandit. The Ribbons for Craftsmanship, Salon and category Prizes were handed out (see the list on the
Page 12
website and pictures above). When the coffee was pouring, Mark and Sandra shared their experience and leatherwork that comes with Falconry. They then displayed two Harris Hawks, we observed them feeding and preening, the beautiful birds were the highlight of the evening.
On Sunday, the workshops continued with a sewn rotary punch cover w/snap closure. Some members worked on finishing the projects from the other days.
The 67th Annual General Meeting Weekend was a success bringing together our members and contributing a small profit to the Society.
