Note from the Editor….
The Annual Convention is coming up and this year the theme is Western and the Norland Branch is looking forward to welcome you to an enjoyable weekend.
This edition I am covering a review of measurements and information on the swivel knife. I hope that you find new information in the articles and pictures.
The Quarterly Newsletter “Canadian Leathercraft” is your source of information about CSCL and its members. Also check out the CSCL website at www.canadianleathercraft.org and CSCL’s Facebook page.
Highlights from the Past Executive Council Meetings….
Welcome to the world of Skype, the Executive have been holding most of their monthly meetings via Skype this year which means that we do not have to travel any further than our PC to be able to communicate with each other. Plans have been under way for the 69th Annual Convention which Norland Branch is hosting. The Workshop Committee is always looking for suggestions for workshops on things that you would like to learn. Please send in your suggestions.

| Best Non Traditional Piece Tammy Paddon | Robert Muma Molded Award Greg Belenky |
| Best General Member Greg Belenky | Best Buckle Award Richard Borrow |
| Best Wearable Richard Borrow | Woodstock Award Tammy Paddon |

Both award lists are printed as ruled tables, two cells to a row, and are set out here as the page rules them, row by row. The Zalitas Pin line prints the surname Pinter, where the panel below on the same page prints Pinder; both are kept as the page has them, as printed. The Society's own 2026 member questionnaire settles the surname as Pinter.
| New Associate | New Fellow |
|---|---|
| Richard Borrow | Lester Pinder |
The page sets these in two boxes side by side, each with a photograph above it: the new Associate at the left and the new Fellow at the right. Read straight across, the two headings ran together and the two names after them.
