CHRISTMAS PARTY

This was a very enjoyable and entertaining event
highlighted by Phyllis Argyle's superb display of belly
dancing. Many thanks Phyllis. Hiro still insists, rather
ungallantly, that his magnificent rosy blush was entirely
due to the influence of the noble grape and not the
Turkish Delights he experienced under Phyllis's veil:

The two films loaned by the Chinese Consulate were mainly
concerned with porcelain production in large manufacturing
centres. It would be interesting to hear from anyone with
information about artist potters in China who are working
individually or in small groups. Since getting involved in
Guild activities I have become convinced that potters may
Struggle but they will never starve: The vast array of
both solid and liquid refreshment lent further weight to
this observation. The winners of the raffle for Harry
Davis's pots were as follows: Ist prize, Brian Harton;
end, Carol Bullen; 3rd, Gerry Girscher; 4th, Ronda Green.
Thankyou to all those who contributed and helped to make
this a fun occasion.
