All meetings will be held at The Magna Carta School, Staines. If you are bringing a car along, please feel free to park in their car park which is along St Paul's Road at the back of St Paul's Church. Meetings start at 7.30pm and finish approximately at 9.30pm. Please note the doors will be open from 7pm if you fancy coming along early for a natter.

The Thameside Quilters are delighted to invite both our membership and non-members to attend. Please note that there is a small fee to pay to cover insurances and facilities.
