ACC Online

“connecting our community”

This week

A short and somewhat crazy week last week - lots of meetings and organising etc etc.. And suddenly here we are with the Alphington Show upon us!

Also … footy tipping. Round one was abysmal (for me anyway, I am coming last having guessed just one winner …) which means that if you haven’t joined up yet, but are feeling so inclined (even after the season has started) you will still be ahead of me (you get given the away teams if you forget to pick any week - which means you might even skyrocket to the top of the ACC ladder!).

Anyway … here’s the link if you want to be a part of our friendly competition!

Preserves Group is on Tuesday - we’re making some cumquat marmalade with fruit from Margaret’s tree, some more tomato relish, some pickles and some stonefruit jam in preparation for the Alphington Show. Come along from 1pm Tuesday afternoon if you’d like to join in this cook up.

On Thursday we have Crunch at 12.30pm and then Alphington Arts at night time from 7.30pm. We’ll be doing some work with clay in the night session if anyone is interested in joining in.

THEN …..FRIDAY …. drop your Alphington Show items in before 5pm. And come along on Saturday for a great community day 11am-2pm - market stalls, sausages, CWA Devonshire tea, petting zoo, and THE DOG SHOW at 1pm. It’s going to be fun! We also hope to have some live music this year on the corner …

So, lastly, one final push to get lots of entries into the show …. a reminder that the categories this year are:

  • A single bloom

  • An arrangement of natural materials

  • A bunch of flowers

  • Flowers in a teacup

  • A decorated saucer

  • A neighbourhood photo or art work

  • A photo or artwork of a dog

  • Something new from something old

  • An article of woodwork

  • 1 tea cosy

  • 1 item of patchwork

  • 1 item headwear (knitted or crocheted)

  • 1 knitted or crocheted scarf

  • 1 item of cross stitch or tapestry

  • 1 item of basketry/weaving

  • 1 soft toy

  • 1 fabric shopping bag

  • 1 chocolate cake

  • 4 plain scones

  • 4 pieces of slice

  • 4 biscuits

  • 1 decorated cake

  • 4 decorated cup cakes

  • 1 loaf of bread

  • freakiest vegetable

  • an arrangement of mixed herbs

  • 1 bunch of a single hern

  • 1 basket of homegrown produce

  • 6 eggs

  • 1 bottle of tomato sauce

  • 1 fermented food/drink

  • 1 jar of pickles

  • 1 jar of jam

  • 1 jar of olives

Have a great week. I really hope to see you on Saturday (and of course on Friday when you drop off your entries) … Also, happy to help on our BBQ? We’d love a couple more volunteers … Call Kalimna on Monday or Tuesday on 9499 7227 or email info@alphington.org.au.
