October 2018
We had a productive and enjoyable 4 days at the recent Creative Craft Show, SEC Glasgow during 25-28 October 2018. Our enthusiastic stand volunteers were on hand to show calligraphy, offer advice and give out calligraphy and group information. Several visitors spent some time trying some calligraphy perhaps starting a new hobby in the future or re-kindling a past interest. More details of the event to follow soon.....
October 2017
Members and group visitors attended our stand in the Scottish Events Campus (SEC), Glasgow during 26 to 29 October 2017. They were on hand to answer calligraphy questions, to encourage visitors to try some calligraphy, and to give out group information.
Having a corner stand gave us invaluable space for visitors to sit down and try some calligraphy with volunteers giving advice and help as needed. This year we gave visitors a bookmark instead of leaflets or business cards.
We also sold a significant amount of £1 Information Sheet packs - always good reference when learning new calligraphy scripts! Next year we hope to have an updated version of the pack/sheets which will be even more useful to event visitors.
The 2017 event was busy and enjoyable with a lot of interest in calligraphy so we look forward to next year's Creative Crafts Show and Crafts for Christmas.
October 2016
stand was busy with visitors enquiring about calligraphy, materials and classes and trying some calligraphy at our visitor table. Stand volunteers were available to give assistance and to demonstrate some writing. Hundreds of Glasgow Scribes contact cards were given out over the four days of Hobbycrafts (27-30 October 2016). Our members kindly allowed the display of their Annual Exhibition work to be displayed on the back wall of the stand after being on tour over the summer period. Yet again this year's Hobbycrafts was enjoyable, busy and worthwhile as the Glasgow Scribes got some visitors to our events after the fair. Thanks to all volunteers who gave up their time to be at our stand and/or give examples of their calligraphy.

Since the event we've received several enquiries about the group and its activities, some visitors to our meetings and new members. With stand items filed until next year we look forward to attending Hobbycrafts during October 2016.
