Leamington Branch Member, Win Barry, celebrated her 100th birthday on February 25th in the company of her many friends and family.
As a Life Member of the Embroiderers' Guild and a Founder Member of the Leamington & District Branch (which also celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year), Win has fond memories of past and current members and their activities. Although she regrets that she can no longer join us for meetings, she remains an active member of her local Quilters group close to her home in Coventry.
During the 1980s Leamington & District hit a low point, and the committee prepared to close the Branch due to lack of support and funds. Win, together with a few fellow members, decided that this could not happen, so they formed a new committee, made a fresh start and Leamington & District Branch was re-born. Our thanks go to Win and her colleagues for their commitment at that time.
Apart from being a highly skilled needlewoman, Win has been and still is a friend to so many of us. Loved for her patience, friendship, loyalty and good humour, we must join her Majesty the Queen in congratulating her as she celebrates this very special birthday.
We wish her health and happiness for more years to come.
