This is a sample of all the 'ladies in waiting' we have acquired for the Centre to help to display The Guild Collection.

On one occasion a matching pair of these 'ladies' was carried naked through the streets of Holmfirth under the arms of Pat Gillett – he was on the receiving end of more than a few strange looks!

Now although we consider we have enough bodies, what we really need are:

• heads to display hats
• hands to display gloves
• feet to display socks

We are looking for the counter-top variety (not anything attached to a body) – whole arm or full leg – and free, of course!

Can you help? Do you know any trader, large or small, who may have shop-soiled or surplus items to dispose of?
