Hi Justine,
Yes there is a reduced fee. Our fees breaks down to be $6/month so if you are looking to join mid year you’d be looking to pay around $30. When you complete your membership form, one of our Committee will contact you to let you know the exact amount as at the date you joined.
Hope that helps!

Hi Kylie
We meet on the third Sunday at The Centenary Hub, Mt Ommney shopping centre. Our sew days are fairly informal, our members typically bring a project or two to work on. Sewing machines are welcome and we have plenty of extension leads and power boards, and we have a couple of irons and ironing boards that can be used. The hall opens at 10am and we need to be packed up by 5pm. Notices and show and tell are typically around 1pm. Because of the covid plan we need to have contact info for everyone who is attending, so I would appreciate an email, if you are thinking of coming. The guild email is brisbanemqg@gmail.com
