THE ADELAIDE CRAFT SHOW
The craft show organisers have once again offered us a site at this years show where we will be able to share our craft with the general public.
Over the past years this has proved a very enjoyable interaction and we have gained a few new knitters and have also caught up with past friends and former machine knitters.
This is our main chance each year to pass on current information on the Association and member Clubs, a chance to display our craft, and show a machine being used (we also invite members of the public to use our machine. This has been a very important and enjoyable part of our outreach to those who come to the show)
As usual I will be needing suitable items for display—Baby and Children’s items, party or gift items.
Also members to man our site over the 4 days. We work in 2 shifts each day, 10-00am to 1-30pm and 1-30pm to 5-00pm, with, hopefully, a 1/4 hr. change over.
If you are able to assist with items or to help at the show, please contact me (Shirley Hooper) on 08 8264 0723 or 0404 130 208, or email me at shirleyh@chariot.net.au
