Thanks to all our

sponsors and supporters

A Great Gala Opening

What a lovely evening for our Gala Opening. Flox spoke of her work and donated a stunning framed hand-cut stencil and a Blunt umbrella for our auction.

Our Chairman Stuart Christie farewelled our hard working inagural trustee Jane Parson and treasurer of 9 years Peter Hogg.

Music was by  Francie Lidgard. The elderly musos could not resist a song along at the end.

Thanks to Flox, our sponsors, Hot Waves Cafe and all those who attended
