Committee Meeting of the Broderers Guild July 1961
It was agreed to having the mats for the tower in hooked rug-work and not embroidered.
Mrs Wilson had two new workers, one from the Royal School of Needlework and one from the Embroiderers Guild. They would start work on the neckerchiefs if Lady Maufe could give a full list of requirements.
Miss Taylor said there there had been many kneelers brought in just before the consecration. It was suggested that unfinished work should be called in but after discussion it was agreed to leave this until later so that storage of unfinished kneelers was avoided. 756 kneelers had already been finished and were in use. It was estimated that a further 700 were needed.
Miss Michelmore reported that Diocesan House was undergoing drastic reconstruction so storage had to be found at very short notice. The Archdeacon of Dorking [acting Sub-Dean] arranged for a room at the Cathedral to b placed at the Broderers disposal. Miss Purves felt that a room more in the centre of Guildford would have been preferable. However it was agreed to give the Cathedral room a trial. Miss Michelmore was given expenses to cover the change of address notices. These would be sent out before the next committee meeting owing to the urgency of the matter.
It was pointed out that the chest and cupboard from Farnham Castle that were now in the temporary Sacristy were the property of the Broderers Guild
