_______________________________________________________________________

You may have noticed a slight price increase for 2010. For the last 4 years I have maintained my workshop price at £25 and I have sustained this, despite wool price increases and other related costs. Where possible I have kept the price at £25, but have increased others slightly. I do hope you understand and that you will still continue to feel the workshops are value for money and compare well to similar workshop days.
