Hello
I go to [Removed by Moderator due to rule 2] about twice a month. Do different tasks and sometimes have guess speakers.
afternoon meeting was supposed to be learning about spinning wheels and spinners (like a child toy); sorry i can't explain things well.
Group leader introduced to the demonstration people. Also didn't ask is anyone is allergic to wool? We had a feel of different types of wool.
I was mortified that the group never heard of Wensleydale sheep (you can't spin cheese!);
A regular member kept on talking behind me and I tried to say to her please can you stop talking and im trying to listen. Repeated about 4 times. I nearly walked out.
No time to have a go.
Would of been useful to have information on paper.
Least I'd learnt about a traditional crafts. This more like promoting there courses in the evening.

The next meeting will be about seahorses.
I'm sure that some of these replies are AI. Sorry if not. I don't know what they get out of it.
I hate it when people talk during a presentation. It is rude and distracting. I admire your guts for speaking up, even if it didn't work out.
I think that spinners etc. are called stim toys or fidget toys. I got some good recommendations recently and am using the one that I ordered a lot.

My post-diagnosis meetings are zoom. Six weeks starting in September.
Wool allergy is maybe not common. I don't think that I'd think of that, either. I hope that you weren't affected too much.
