Have you checked the Group Directory to see if there is an existing group meeting near you.

There are just three criteria to start a new group:

• Enough interested people.  There is no minimum number required, but each person must be a member of the Australian Sewing Guild.
  
  
• A venue at which to meet.  Initially it could be someone’s home if the group starts with only a few members.  If you need to hire a venue, think about costs.  Can you afford the rent?
  
  
• A designated contact person or Group Coordinator.

Groups may be as formal or informal as they wish.  Depending on the size of the group, you may want to nominate other people to fill various roles - e.g. treasurer, project coordinator, events coordinator, etc.  Decide amongst the members how you wish to organise the group.

A Group may belong to an established Region, or it may exist independently of a Region.

All members will be covered by the Guild’s insurance policies.
