After a much appreciated mid year break we are back on deck Monday. It looks to be a chilly week ahead - but we hope to see you here despite the forecast.

Our Friday community program will resume this week … and our key short courses etc. will begin in two weeks.

And … yes, we know … we have some things to get organised ASAP!

Highest on our list is Movie Club … our first date is this Tuesday! We’ll add everyone who has expressed interest to the What’s App group first thing Monday and send out the details for the movie etc.

We’ve also got our first Alphington Arts meeting on Thursday night at 7.30pm. And … we need to get this What’s App group going too! This session we’ll be learning the basics of basket making, led by Kayti Murphy. It should be fun!

It’s not too late to join in! Let us know if you haven’t signed up but are keen to join in too! The more the merrier for both the movies and getting arty.

On Thursday 25th July from 1 – 3pm, Yarra Aged and Disability Services will host a free jazz concert at Collingwood Town Hall as part of the Leaps and Bounds Festival.

With a focus on older people and people with a disability, this is a great opportunity to get out, hear some live music and have fun. Bookings are essential. See the poster for details.

This semester we have changed the format of our Women in the Shed classes. Instead of a longer course, we are offering two short courses with a focus on building and exploring specific skills ….

Cheese Boards 101

Running from Thursday 1 August for 4 weeks from 10am-12pm, this course will introduce you to hand saws and planes and files, perhaps some drilling … and also teach you about finishing timber - including sanding, staining, oiling etc.

It will set you up to have more confidence to undertake basic timber maintenance or small timber projects around your home.

It costs $145. You can book in here.

Mosaics 101

From Thursday 24 October for 4 weeks from 10am-12pm we’ll be running our Mosaics 101 again. In this course you’ll learn how to tile and grout … super handy skills around the home … whilst making something beautiful! Basic materials are provided, but we encourage you to go to the op shop or dig around at home and find some beautiful patterned ceramics that will make your creation(s) uniquely pop.

Whilst this class will start at the basics for anyone learning new skills - we’re also happy to help you keep exploring the wonderful world of mosaics if you have done it before - and are keen for some company and inspiration.

The cost is $145. You can book in here.
