BECOMING A PRESIDENT OF QUEEN MOTHER’S CLOTHING GUILD

• An Annual subscription of at least £10.00

• Attendance at the Annual General Meeting – optional

• Attendance at Packing Week – also optional, but contributions need to be delivered to St James’s Palace

• Promote the work/aims of the Guild whenever and wherever possible: hand out ‘flyers’; write in local parish magazines; give short talks to organizations (if so inclined!) tell others about us

• Provide as many items as possible – but if it is only a few, that is more than acceptable. Ask friends/colleagues/guests to donate just one or two garments a year (knitted/sewn/bought) , or give a small cash donation

• Hold Coffee Mornings and/or fundraise if so desired – but not essential

In short, as great or as little effort as the individual wishes

Probably the easiest way of encouraging someone to take on the mantle of a President is have a Vice President who would help the President, whilst building a small additional Group
In the case of retirement from the Guild, it would be helpful if Presidents could actively encourage a member of their Group to ‘take over the reins’. Too often, when someone retires, the whole Group is lost
This initiative leads on from the idea of every President trying to find at least one new, younger member each year – something we all need to be thinking about
