Mississauga Branch workshop, 15 December 2019

← Back to the Photo Gallery · 28 photographs

A workshop to make sheepskin mitts, held by the Mississauga branch in December 2019. It was the last full season the branch had before the meetings stopped: its own report for the year ends “March to April — no meeting due to COVID”, and the year after that carries no meetings at all. It was held on Sunday 15 December 2019, with a potluck lunch; members had to reply ahead so that the shearling hides could be bought. The branch's own report for September 2019 to April 2020, in the Society's Annual Meeting reports, page 9: “December – Workshop to make Sheepskin Mitts.” The date: Kim Winchester's notice “MSCL WORKSHOP - SHEARLING MITTS - MUST RSVP”, e-mail of 18 November 2019.
