TERM 3 STARTS WEDNESDAY 3RD AUGUST

I know there's been some confusion (and it's of my making!) but we will definitely be starting classes again on Wednesday 03rd August and not before.  The classes will continue to be tied in with secondary school term times for the rest of the year.
See you all soon.  :)

This just in . . .

The visitor numbers to the Estuary Arts Centre for our exhibition were the highest since September 2009.  There were 2,323 people through the doors.  Well done us!!

End of term trip to Kaipara Sculpture Gardens

On Wednesday 06th July we took a trip to the Kaipara Sculpture gardens to see how our work was faring and to show some of the group who had not been involved in the original installation.  I also wanted to have a look at the proposed area for our installation for the 2011/12 period - to go in at the end of October.
We managed to get 7 people there and, although the weather was brisk and a bit windy, the rain held off and the sun even came out for a while for us.  It was a great outing and we booked in advance so we could get the option of having lunch provided.  Lovely - farmstyle sandwiches, homemade lemony muffins and fresh fruit, with a nice hot cuppa as well.

Next step is planning the new installation - the local press 'The Rodney Times' has already run an article about it, so I expect to be inundated with requests for inclusion.  Watch this space!

Packing out

Well, we did it!  Knitcetera at the Estuary Arts Centre has been a huge hit, with many visitors returning and bringing friends.  We will have a rundown of statistics next month.  Over the coming 2 days we will be packing out - anyone who has items in the exhibition will need to uplift them anytime Saturday afternoon until 4pm or from 9am til 1pm on Sunday.  I'll be there.  :)
