Number 3-Bus Pickups
A number of people who are booked onto the 9am bus have flights arriving in Brisbane that may make catching this bus a close call. If this is you, and you miss the bus, please call John on 0402 244 755 or 0488 55 7281. We may be able to do another pickup to catch any late arrivals if needed.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday!!

Fishing Game and Felted surprises!

There are a number of spaces left in both the 'Fishing game ' workshop and the felted surprises workshop, where you will make a felt seasonal picture.

Here are some pictures to inspire you if you wish to join one of these as a third workshop!!













More advice on what to bring, and what not to bring..

All linen is provided for you- including towels and blankets. The rooms are all on reverse cycle air conditioning, with heating, with the exception of 6 rooms which have heaters instead.

There will be an opportunity to purchase entry into a 3rd workshop. We will have these posted on the main noticeboard in foyer and it will be first in, to select their choices.
Please bring a small amount of cash with you as these payments will be cash only.

Materials fees will be needed to be paid on the Monday to your host of the workshop (if applicable).

A materials fee has been added to the "Morning circles' workshop to cover cost of photocopying. This will be a fee of $4.

See you Monday!!

Update to price for 'Painting with wool"; C workshop times

Hello again,
An amendment to the brochure- The 'Painting with Wool' class with Sigrid has a material fee of $10 however this is a typo error. The correct price for materials for this class is $20. Sorry about the inconvenience.

C workshops will run from 4.30-6pm, the full hour and a half.
Dinner begins at 5.30 so C workshop participants will arrive for dinner slightly later than the rest of the group. This was the only way we could fit another workshop into our tightly packed schedule and also allows Dinner time to flow more smoothly as we dont have 140 people arriving all at once!!

See you soon. In 17 days!!

WORKSHOP MATERIAL FEES.

Don't forget to bring cash for your material fees. This will need to be paid DIRECT TO YOUR WORKSHOP HOST on the first day of your workshop. There are no ATMs at the centre and the closest shop is a drive away so it is wise to bring a small amount with you to pay for incidentals and things.

See you soon

Food choices, Bus phone numbers, bus pick up venue change

Hello again

Just a note, with regard to meals.
The chefs at Bardon centre make lovely food and are in preparations for our menu as we speak.
One big thing to note is that due to the amount of food they have to prepare, getting ingredients in season etc, the 'some meat meals' option may include red meat, chicken or fish.
If you have noted that you can only eat fish, or chicken and fish, I have given you the 'vegetarian option' to ensure you don't have a dinner that may include red meat.

If you are having a pick up on the Monday morning, please take note of these phone numbers.
John informs me there is a bus ramp (I am not sure where it is but will check it out on wed for you all to give you better directions) where he can pick you all up.

If you are lost, please call John on 0422 244 755 or the silkwood bus phone on 0488 55 7281.

updated pick up Instructions to follow....
