HERBS to HAPPY FISH!
Miniature Horses and Lee Renton
- Lee
shows miniature horses. From Lee: “I have a team
of 4 which
will become
6
this
season!
From
October till
late March
my
horses
become my
life. Nearly
every
weekend
I
am showing
either at a
NZMHA,
A&P or an
AIM show. I
travel as far
as
Whangarei
in the North
and
Cambridge
in
the
Waikato
South.
There are a number of classes we can enter
including BP - Best Presented, which is judged on
both Horse and Handler and obviously on
presentation of each – this includes:
Conformation - how well your horse is put together;
Colour - there are quite a range of colours. Solid
colours like black, chestnut, Pintos, Dilutes,
Appaloosa; Head - how in proportion the head is
(being little and cute helps - lol); Movement - how
well they move; Also, Showmanship- how well the
Handler and Horse combine; Jumping - where the
horse jumps over a number of jumps; Trail- where
the horse negotiates a number of obstacles and
challenges.
I started out with getting a Miniature Horse for my
granddaughters to brush etc., as my full height
horses were just too big!!
Hearts, an older bomb-proof mare came to live with
us - and is still here, enjoying her retirement at
23years. I then decided to purchase one to show, and
along came Ice, a 2year old black mare, who is now
Kaiwaka
music
legend Gordon Joll
-
While many will know Gordon
as the legendary drummer in
Kiwi reggae band Herbs, what
they might not know about
Gordon is his music career
started many moons ago in a
band called Tramp.
Tramp were a band of six Kiwi
blokes who formed back in the
‘70s, and after 46 years Jetstar
has brought the band back
together!
Tramp’s story started on air, on
TVNZ’s talent show Studio One
New Faces. The crew – Gordon, Tony King, brothers Mark and
Paul Town-Treweek, Rodney McCauley and Paul Nickless – gave it
their all, but despite their best efforts came in second place
,
with
the late Phil Warren, who was on the judging panel at the time,
criticising the band for having “too many guitars”. While Gordon
went on to find fame, the band joke that to this day, that very line
still haunts them
.
From Gordon: “
I moved to Kaiwaka in October 2014 when I
moved here to be with my wife Sue who has lived here since 2005.
Yes, I have played a few Sweetwaters concerts, one year with
HERBS - pictured above, Hello Sailor and Pat Green from the
USA.
The Tramp story came out of the blue, when Tony King submitted a
photo for a Jetstar
promo; refer to story
on my facebook page
or
http://
jetstardoitagain.co.nz.
I have been actively
involved in the New
Zealand music industry
all my life having
played with HERBS,
Joe
Walsh,
Hello
Sailor,
Hammond
Gamble, Prince Tui
Teka, Billy T James,
Tom Sharplin, to name
a few.

MOLLY’S GAME
(R13)
Friday 1 June, 7.30pm
‘MOLLY'S GAME is based on the true story
of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who
ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes
poker game for a decade before being
arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI
agents wielding automatic weapons.
Her players included Hollywood royalty,
sports stars, business titans and finally,
unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her
only ally was her criminal defence lawyer
Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was
much more to Molly than the tabloids led us
to believe.’
Starring Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba;
writer-director Aaron Sorkin.

NORTHLAND ROAD
SAFETY WEBSITE
www.northlandroadsafety.co.nz
The Northland Road Safety website has been developed by the Northland
Regional Council Transport Projects Team to promote Northland’s road safety
issues and partners. Northland's strength is in working together to communicate
and share responsibility for issues and problem solving. Results are gained from
a long-term view and a consistent, evidence-based approach that gradually
builds people’s awareness, behaviour change along with effective interventions
developing into lasting safety outcomes.
COUNCIL
APPOINTS NEW
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Mayor of Kaipara,
Dr. Jason Smith is
delighted to be able
to
announce
the
appointment
of
Louise
Miller
as
Kaipara
District
Council’s new Chief
Executive. “This is
the culmination of a rigorous
recruitment process started late last
year and the Council was unanimous in
appointing Louise at its extraordinary
meeting held in Maungaturoto on
Tuesday 15 May 2018” said Mayor
Smith.
Louise comes to Kaipara from
Tauranga City Council where she is
currently a General Manager and
Corporate Director. She has previously
held positions at Tauranga as General
Manager Community Services and as a
Programme Director. As part of the
due diligence in the recruitment
process Louise along with Mayor
Smith, met with key Iwi leaders across
the Kaipara.
Council has also appointed Curt Martin
– currently Chief Operating Officer
and General Manager
Infrastructure at Kaipara District
Council - to the role of Interim Chief
Executive until Louise is able to take
up her new post, currently scheduled
for September of this year.
“This is an exciting time for Kaipara as
these appointments enable us to
continue to build on the substantial
progress that has been made since the
return to a democratically elected
council over 18 months ago.” Said
Mayor Smith. “I look forward to
working with Louise and the Council
to keep Kaipara moving forward into
the future.”
COUNCILLOR’S
COMMENT*
with
Otamatea
Ward
Councillor
Jonathan Larsen.
The sealing of 1.2
kilometres of Settlement
Road is nearly complete
with minor ancillary works (line
marking and guardrail) expected to be
completed by the end of May.
Crack sealing repairs on Kaiwaka-
Mangawhai Road are also due to
commence, along with footpath repairs
on Marshall Road.
The draft Long Term Plan (Council’s
ten-year budget) was adopted in
principle at this month’s Council
meeting. This will come back for final
adoption at the June meeting. All going
to plan this will include the Kaiwaka
pedestrian bridge and footpath project.
The reserve contribution policy that I
have been working on for the past year
was also finally adopted at the meeting.
This means that there will now be a
fund catchment area specifically for
Kaiwaka and surrounds.
I’d be keen to hear your thoughts on
what the Kaiwaka area (including
Oruawharo, Oneriri and Hakaru) needs
in the way of new reserve land
acquisitions and upgraded and new
recreational facilities on existing
reserves. A contestable application
round for this fund will be advertised
in July to allow community groups to
pitch their ideas.
If you have any community projects or
issues that you would like assistance
with, I can be contacted on Ph. 021 185
8389 or Cr.Larsen@kaipara.govt.nz.
My ‘The WorkBoot Councillor’

KAIWAKA
“Five underrated small New Zealand
towns” – by Lorna Thornber, 25 May
2018
REEFTON, PATEA, GERALDINE.
RUATORIA and
‘KAIWAKA, NORTHLAND
Any town with a name that translates to
"food canoe" is a winner in our books.
Often overlooked in favour of its
coastal neighbours, Kaiwaka is where
it's really at in lower Northland.
If you're looking for a true blue small-
town Kiwi experience that is.
The town's lack of conventional tourist
attractions is part of its charm - there's
not much to do other than explore the
area, chill out or chow down on some
of that namesake food.
Carey, who runs an Airbnb surrounded
by fruit and olive trees and native bush
just outside Kaiwaka, recommends
checking out La Nonna Italian Bakery,
the Kaiwaka Cheese Shop - which
stocks some 52 varieties from around
New Zealand and Europe - Jaques Four
Square (the Jaques here makes all the
difference) and popular local hangouts
Three Furlongs Bar and Grill, and the
Spice Lounge.
If you like the idea of an actual food
canoe you could try hiring or borrowing
one (or bring your own) and go fishing
on one of the three rivers that feed into
the Kaipara Harbour… ’
LINKING HANDS
Inspire and Contribute at
our AGM
After the success of our 10-
year celebrations in March, it
is now time to put Linking
Hands’ Board together for the next
year.
We
need
your
inspired
contribution at our Annual General
Meeting on the 26th of June at 7pm
in the Anglican Church Hall in
Maungaturoto.
Linking Hands found an effective way
to combine the efforts of the
Maungaturoto, Paparoa, Kaiwaka,
Mangawhai, Waipu and Ruakaka
communities to help people get to
medical
appointments
when
experiencing transport challenges.
Dozens of volunteer drivers and a fleet
of vehicles help to accomplish this.
The AGM will report on the past year
and elect a winning team for the next
one. Everyone is welcome, and your
contribution
can
make
a
real
difference. Come meet likeminded
people and enjoy a light supper
afterwards. If you feel inclined to put
your name forward to serve on the
Board, please call 09 431 8969 now.
New Premises. Linking Hands is
looking for new premises to rent in
Maungaturoto. It has to be centrally
located and have off-street parking
space for three vehicles. Also, about 50
square meters of office space. Please
let us know if you can help.
From Thelma’s
Scrapbook …
JUST A LINE TO SAY
I'M LIVING
Just a line to say I'm
living,
And not among the dead,
Though I'm getting more forgetful
And mixed up in the head.
I’ve got used to my arthritis,
To my dentures I'm resigned,
I can manage my bifocals but,
Oh, how much I miss my mind!
For sometimes I cannot remember,
As I stand at the foot of the stairs,
If I must go up for something,
Or have just come down from there.
And before the fridge so often,
My poor mind is filled with doubt,
Have I just put the food away,
Or have I come to take some out?
So if it's my turn to write to you,
There's no need for getting sore,
I may think that I have written
And don't want to be a bore.
But often I think about you
And wish that you were near
But now it's nearly mail time
So I must say,
“Good-bye my dear”,
Then I stand beside the
letterbox
With a face so really red,
Instead of mailing my letter,
I opened it instead!!!

‘Into the Woods’
– directed by Peter Flower
If you enjoy a great story with humour,
and clever music, then ‘Into the
Woods’ is a must-see.
This Broadway Musical, with music
and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and
book by James Lapine, intertwines the
plots of several Brothers Grimm and
Charles Perrault fairy tales, exploring
the consequences of the characters’
wishes and quests.
The main characters are taken from
‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Jack and the
Beanstalk’,
‘Rapunzel’
and
‘Cinderella’, as well as several others.
The musical is tied together by a story
involving a childless baker and his wife
and their quest to begin a family, their
interaction with a witch who has placed
the curse on them, and their interaction
with other storybook characters during
their journey.
The musical debuted in San Diego at
the Old Globe Theatre in 1986 and
premiered on Broadway on November
5, 1987, where it won several Tony
Awards,
including
Outstanding
Musical, in a year dominated by Lloyd
Webber’s ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.
Ray Palmer, Orchestral Director for the
ORT production, is very excited to be
involved, as the theatre will be using a’
cutting-edge orchestral suite’, the latest
in interactive-musical technology, as
the accompaniment.
Opening night is Saturday 14 July @
7.30pm and the season runs for eight
shows with the final show on Sunday
29 July @ 2pm.
More than half of the shows will be
during the school holidays, providing
excellent family entertainment.
Tickets
available
online
at
www.ort.org.nz or at Tony’s Lotto
Shop in Maungaturoto. Adults $28 and
school students $15.
‘May Masquerade’ 2018
This was another excellent event
organised by the theatre. Our
celebration to honour Mothers, featured
delicious food, catered by the ORT
committee, lovely singing by many
young talented performers, and an
entertaining quiz. The afternoon was
lots of fun for all those who attended.

MANGAWHAI ARTISTS
Women on Fire
Pauline Mann, Judy Wood,
Samantha Minnery, Emma Caiman
Opens Thursday 24 May 6pm to 6 June
10 – 3 daily
On Fire! Energy, creativity, dynamism
and drama – fire is the theme of a
collaborative exhibition by four artists.
‘Women on Fire’ is a thrilling finale to
the Mangawhai Artists Gallery 2017-
18 exhibition season. The works are in
glass,
clay
and
a
multimedia
presentation combining charcoal work
with original song writing, singing and
recording.
Established ceramic artist, Judy Wood
was the impetus for this show. She is
joined by Mangawhai artists in glass,
Pauline Mann and Samantha Minnery
and Tomarata’s Emma Caiman who is
presenting in charcoal and music. The
art works are deeply personal
reflections on the qualities of their
materials - mediated by fire - and the
metaphysical and literal journey it
takes us on.
About the Artists
Pauline loves translucent colour and
materials, teaching herself to paint with
glass, allowing her to express the
colour world as she sees it. She uses
kiln formed glass in the slumped and
fused methods.
Pauline and Emma have had many
creative endeavours. Emma was
intending to illustrate her children’s
stories with her beautiful line drawing,
then, once Pauline introduced her to a
transformative charcoal technique, she
began a whole new creative adventure,
combining it with her recording, song
writing and singing skills.
Judy has been making pots since
1969 and met Emma and Pauline in the
late 80’s. They have worked, played
and travelled together ever since and
watched Judy build on her original
production pottery skills - teaching,
painting, healing and now a clay
sculptor - free to explore, break the
rules and create. Judy and Pauline will
show some of their collaborative work
in this exhibition.
Samantha is the most recent addition
to the group. She was drawn to
Mangawhai nearly three years ago and
has found her place in the Rakaunui
Art Village. Samantha uses flame
working techniques to create her
delightful glass assemblages which
vividly express her soul connection to
this medium.
The exhibition collateral (poster,
cards and biography notes) were put
together by another Mangawhai
newcomer, Susan Dugdale, who met
Pauline in the early 2000s in the
Wellington Steiner School where they
worked together, Susan in theatre
production and Pauline on set and
costume design.
This journey of fire and spirit ignites
them on their journey into the
unknown, and propels them into a
letting go that allows the creative
processes to unfold.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSN
Walking Netball - ‘take a walk on
the mild side!’
Here is something new for Kaiwaka.
Do you have fond memories of playing
netball when you were younger but feel
you could no longer keep up with the
game? Maybe you are pregnant or
carrying an injury which means you
need a low-impact activity. Walking
Netball could be for you!
Walking Netball is a slower version of
the game, with no running or jumping
allowed. It is suitable for people of all
ages and abilities with the focus on fun
rather than competition.
I am putting on a ‘Have A Go’ day,
and then if there is enough interest, I
will organise a Module. So for a
‘taster’ of Walking Netball, come
along to our gymnasium on Sunday 1st
July at 2pm. Tell your friends!
Rugby - JMB
All five JMB clubs (Paparoa,
Maungaturoto,
Eastern
United,
Wellsford and Tomarata) will be
playing at our grounds this Friday. This
is a combined evening with the Senior
Hawks matches. Under 7s kick-off at
6.30pm and Under 9s kick-off at
7.15pm.
Rugby – IMB
The next IMB matches at our grounds
will be next Saturday 9th. Our Junior
Hawks Under 11s and Under 13s will
both be playing.
Rugby - Senior
The next Hawks matches at our
grounds will be this Friday against the
Western Sharks. The evening will be
combined with JMB matches. The
Hawks Reserves kick-off at 7.15pm
and are followed by the Premiers at
9pm.
No Parking
There are three No Parking zones at the
Kaiwaka Sports Complex. They are
clearly marked but we have an ongoing
problem with people ignoring them.
These zones are in place as they are
either an accessway onto the fields for
emergency vehicles or they are
disabled parking.
The three areas are: in front of the gate
by the swimming pool, next to the
driveway by the tennis court and on the
concreted area between the gymnasium
and the noticeboard. Please respect
the No Parking signs!
Squash
Did you know that squash is widely
considered to be the healthiest sport?
This is because squash improves your
aerobic fitness, burns off calories,
boosts flexibility and sprint speed,
improves
hand-eye
co-ordination,
develops the strength and power of
your muscles and boosts your
cardiovascular fitness.
If you are keen to give squash a try,
simply turn up to the courts on our club
nights, Mondays from 6pm (the door to
the squash courts is opposite the tennis
courts).
If you would like to join the
club, an annual membership gives you
access to the courts 24/7 with free
lights. Membership is $80 for a single
adult or $150 for a family. Or you can
pay a $3 per club night casual fee.
To purchase a membership contact
Craig
Wallis
on
craig_wallis@hotmail.com.
Fitness Centre
Keys to our Fitness Centre have now
changed over, so if you have ever
thought about taking out a membership

can purchase a year’s membership for
$150 which will give you 24/7 access

bikes, climbers, rowers, treadmills, CV
machines, toilets and showers.

RIVERVIEW REPORT
Early in May we celebrated our second
100th birthday in 2018.
We wished Jeanne Bell a very Happy
100th Birthday. Jeanne had a
wonderful day out and celebratory
lunch with family.
To keep the funding pot boiling the
Maungaturoto Community Charitable
Trust has established a funding group
headed by Albie Paton, with the
support of Trustees Graham Slatter and
Jamie Ewen along with some other
enthusiastic
community
minded
people. This group charged with the
raising of funds for the Dementia unit
is still in its formative stage, but at the
time of writing one very substantial
sum of money has been promised as
well as several cattle beasts and a
wether hogget. Some of these offers
have come from outside the immediate
Maungaturoto
area,
one
from
Mangawhai and one from Kaiwaka.
This is a great start as canvasing is in
early stages.
You may get a visit from one of the
committee over the next month or so,
we would love everybody to contribute
be it large or small, money, goods,
services, or animals. The Trust has an
account with Silver Fern Farms, also
Greenlea.
We are confident the people of
Maungaturoto will always front up
with what they can afford, whether it
be large or small, all contributions will
be greatly received and will ensure
Maungaturoto will have yet another
community facility that we may all be
proud of.
Our first major event will be the
Auction sponsored by “The Den” and
“Maungaturoto and District Rotary
Club” to be held on Queens Birthday
weekend Saturday 2nd June at the
Centennial Hall at 11 am – Furniture
and general goods have been collected
and further entries will be accepted up
to Friday June 1st .

KAIWAKA SCHOOL
Kaiwaka School Book Fair
Where: Kaiwaka School Library
When: 28 May - 1 June
Why: This is an opportunity for
parents,
caregivers,
grandparents,
family friends to see a huge range of
children’s books on display and buy
these if you want to. Also, it’s a good
way to buy birthday and Christmas
presents.
It is great to actually have the books on
site and for the kids to see and hear lots
of different stories all at once. The
books are at reduced prices.
Sometimes people like to buy one for
their child and one for the school
library - this is a really good way to
make a specific donation to the school,
and all the students benefit. On
Thursday 31st May we will have a
Book Character Dress-Up day, and
there will be competitions and displays
for the children to be a part of.
Please come up to school anytime
during this week -8.00am to 5.00pm,
with your friends and families, to view,
enjoy and purchase books.
Thank you, PTA
Our wonderful PTA have donated 10
iPads to the junior school. The teachers
and staff are really excited about this
generous gift, as it enables our students
to practise reading and maths, to write
stories and to make videos and
presentations easily. Thank you,
Courtney, and the PTA helpers. Also
thank you to you the parents who allow
your children to buy jucies and hot
dogs, when the PTA are fundraising.

MUSIC FROM MAURA
Not only does Maura Flower teach singing but has
produced CDs. Maura is also very involved in our very
successful Otamatea Repertory Theatre.
Here she says, “The first album we made was 'Feeling
Good' in 2005. It is an
album of jazz standards -
I am singing with a group
of session musicians,
recorded in Kamo at
Music Mayhem. Easy-
listening.
The second album, 'One
Foot in the Groove' was
recorded in 2012 - I was
part of a group called
Whiskey Business, and
the style - 'progressive
bluegrass' - featuring
myself, Peter Flower,
Joan Brown and Jen
Calthrop. Our group is no longer together but the music
lives on with the CD. You can listen to this one on Spotify
and iTunes.
Both albums are for sale at Tony's in Maungaturoto for $25.

Duke of Edinburgh
By the time this article goes to print
the upgrade of Nikau Grove pathways
will be complete. By involving Duke
of Edinburgh students, we are helping
them
attain
the
community
commitment that is part of the award
and we will continue to have them help
upgrade the walkway at the Country
Club. While it is a clearly defined
pathway it does tend to get overgrown.
We are very fortunate to have such
scenic areas that we can access within
our township and it is great that we
have young people in our community
who are willing to help with the
upgrades.
Cycle/Walkway
The group of people who are interested
in progressing the cycle/walkway
between Paparoa and Ruawai are
making good progress having split
their energies with one group looking
at the logistics of the track while the
others will be responsible for
administration and fundraising.
Calf litter
Some of you may have already bought
bags of calf litter which makes an
effective addition to gardens. This was
a project initiated by the late Terry
Hanna and with the help of his son,
Craig, we are going to be able to
continue with this great fundraising
option. You will notice that we now
have properly printed 20kg bags and
have used technology to provide a
more effective way of filling the bags.
This product will continue to be sold at
local markets as well as at the
Maungaturoto Four Square (please
contact a Rotarian if you want a bulk
load.)
June Pitman
Two of us were able to visit
Tinopai school, promoting
Duffy books. Children’s
author June Pitman was present, and
she not only used her story-telling
ability to have the children spellbound
but at the end she presented two books
to each student. These are taken home
by the youngsters and it is hoped that
they will be encouraged to read more.
Dr Tracey Wedge
Once again, we have had a number of
very interesting speakers, two of whom
originally came from the Paparoa area.
Dr Tracey Wedge is the Curator at
Matakohe Kauri museum who spoke
about the process of qualifying as a
Conservator as well as some of the
details of what her job involves. The
Museum is fortunate to have someone
like her on their staff as Conservators
in NZ are very limited.
Scott Freeman
While most of us are familiar with
dairy farms that involve cows, we were
given an insight into dairy goat
farming by Scott Freeman who is
involved with a herd of 600 Saanan
goats near Morrinsville as well as
being a Dairy Farm consultant. He told
us that goats are very efficient
producers with great personalities and
they milk like cows but have diseases
like sheep. The pool of farmers is
closed and the payout has not
decreased since 1995. Our speakers are
always entertaining, and it is great to
hear from locals who have returned to
the area.

6 and a stunning dapple gray); next came Coby,
a weanling gelding, who is now 4 and a lovely
chocolatey colour. But wait, a stunning Pinto
weanling filly then caught my eye, so Bubba
joined the team!! Bubba’s breeder was very
happy with how I was doing on the show scene
and offered me another filly, so Gypsy, a little
palomino joined us ... that was it!! Sure!! Have
you heard the saying "like potato chips - one is
never enough”? So, this season 2 more geldings
have joined the herd - a black weanling Jimmi

rich red bay Sammi (Coby’s
1
⁄
2
brother).
Over the last 2 show seasons I have watched and learnt a lot and my horses are
now consistently placing and have been doing very well. A couple of highlights
from last season – one, Ice winning a few Reserve Supremes in Performance
(jumping and trail - which she loves) and two, Gypsy winning an Overall
Supreme Category A.
In saying that I have been lucky enough that ALL my horses are doing very
well, consistently gaining Champion/Reserve champion placings - I am
Extremely Proud of them!
While working at Jaques 4 Square I’m sure I drive all our customers crazy
talking about my horses, but they are a very important part of my life. A BIG
Thankyou also to Paula and Greg who change rosters around and give me
Fridays off in the season to prepare my horses to show.
If anyone is interested in knowing anymore or are interested in showing etc I
belong to about 4 clubs and am happy to point you in the right direction!! I am
secretary of the Matakana Miniature Horse Club, based in Warkworth which is
the closest club.
….
All your outdoor needs sorted so you don’t have to...
I can prune, chop, tidy, spray, mow, plant
- you name it, I can do it!

This Facebook Group ‘Old Friends New Zealand Schools’ was founded as the
old ‘Friends’ one had closed down. There were many people say they had
missed it so Corinne Bryan found a few old school mates and began this group.
Corinne says, “Please share and like the group and we love all the school photos
you are sharing. Unfortunately we can not retrieve any photos that you may have
put on the last site. If you have any amusing stories or happenings at any of your
schools please share. Thank you.”

Matariki - Māori New Year
Mid-June marks the beginning of
Matariki (Māori New Year) when the
Matariki star cluster, also called the
Pleiades or Seven Sisters, rises in the
sky. For many years, The Kauri
Museum has worked with seven
primary schools of the old Otamatea
area to produce themed story boards
for display. This year’s theme is ‘Ngā
Ika o Otamatea’.
Each of the participating
schools has been given the
name of a fish, numerous in
their area, and asked to
interpret the subject in any
manner they wish.
To mark the opening on the
first day of Matariki, 15 June -
10am
to
2pm,
Bernard
Makoare will demonstrate the
making
and
playing
of
traditional
Māori
musical
instruments, taonga puoro,
followed by a preview of the
exhibition. The afternoon will
be dedicated to kapa haka
performance
before
students return to school.
Anyone
interested
is
invited to attend.
Raranga flax weaving
Our
2018
Matariki
programme also includes
the opportunity to attend a
raranga flax weaving
workshop.
There are two workshops
scheduled, the first held
over a weekend and then
a later, mid-week course.
These are tutored by
Whaea Geraldine Jenkins.
Participants will learn the
correct
protocols
for
harvesting
harakeke,
preparation of the fibre
and then weave their own
kete to pass on to
someone
special.
Bookings are essential for the
workshops:
Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 June 10am-
3pm OR Tuesday 24 & Wednesday 25
July 10am-3pm; Cost: $40 per person
Bring: your lunch, an old shirt/ apron, a
