Committee Meeting of the Broderers Guild October 1955
Miss Purves had already paid out over £30 for linen for white work and felt at this rate the fund would soon give out. A minimum of thirty surplices were needed and to allow time for laundry there should be sixty. The kneelers had been more or less self supporting but she did not feel that many of the white workers could afford the cost of a surplice that is £4 to £5. Discussion took place on how to raise money for this.
Lady Maufe showed seven designs that Miss Taylor had thought would be suitable when she had visited Lady Maufe’s studio.
An additional 20 kneelers were completed and a further 20 were ready to be made up.
Possible dates for an exhibition of Broderers work were suggested.
