Community and Refuge Quilt Workday
Come along to the Community /refuge quilt workday from 10am to 4pm.
All help is appreciated.
The new venue at Challenge 2000, on the corner of Moorefield Rd and Wanaka St Johnsonville, proved very suitable. There is a lovely dining room enabling everyone to have lunch together. The chairs for sewing are low though so if you do come bring a cushion to sit on. Come for the day or part of it. BYO own lunch. Tea and coffee provided. There is parking at the top of the drive.
