First was the business part - a very productive session where we "elected" a programme committee and discussed the interests, needs and wants for the programmes for the coming year.
We also discussed guild challenges for the season. These include the creation of a "breeds book" containing samples of many different breeds of sheep fleeces to be used as a reference in the guild library. We also hope to have a guild display for the OHS Conference, happening in Woodstock, Ontario in May of 2011. The theme for the display is "Flower Power".
Then came the fun part - mini challenges at our wheels.
We first tried to spin wearing latex gloves. That wasn't much of a challenge - except for Yvonne who caught the tips of her gloves in the fibre and spun them into her yarn. Hoots of laughter from everyone else.

Nancy (the alpaca lady) gave us all a laugh by stating that this was the only way she enjoyed spinning wool - not seeing what she was spinning.
