Who's who and how to contact us

In 2022 we will be celebrating 400 years since the birth of this cottage industry.

In my Dorset Button eNewsletter, December 2019 issue, I asked if you thought if this was an occasion we should celebrate. To judge your feelings, I asked subscribers to complete an online survey. I was very surprised by the response as 99% of you said yes and many left very positive comments and suggestions. In addition a number of my subscribers who live in America and Australia mentioned that you would like to join with our celebrations.

So let's try and make this an international event. To start the ball rolling this website is designed to allow you all to post your events for 2022 to help celebrate this occasion wherever you are in the world! 

Any project like this needs a good team so I was so please when the following volunteered to help and support me. However, the more help we have the more we will be able to offer you.

​I look forward to hearing from you
