Term 1, 2025
Our centre will be blooming in 2025 after a trying year, just like this Christmas Tree!
We can’t farewell 2024 without thanking everyone for their efforts in support of our Centre – committee, staff, website admin, teachers, and students as without you, the Centre would not be able to thrive.
Thank you to those members who attended our annual High Tea event in December.
A special thanks to the City of Stirling, for the window replacement works which have rejuvenated our lovely centre.
A huge shout out to our 2024 fundraisers who go above and beyond for our Centre!
Cheryl Gee..
..for the many, many jars of jam & marmalade each year – 100% profit for the Centre.
Penny Morgan & Angela Jones..
..for commission from sales of olive oil & honey respectively.
All members & friends..
..who helped with our “Handmade with Love” Pop Up Shop. Thanks to all who made beautiful craft for us to sell – much of the craft was donated to us, so 100% profit for the centre. Special thanks to Lina, who (wo)manned the shop over the 3 separate dates. This fundraising initiative raised $1600 – much needed funds!
Penny Morgan & the Patchwork girls..
..for hosting and organising our wonderful Long Table Lunch & Airing of the Quilts.
And ..to our charity groups, Stashbusters Quilting & Yarnwork for a Cause, who continue to support local charities and all those who contributed to our Food Bank appeal as we managed to donate 23kg of donated food to those most in need – what a sense of community!
An Important Date For Your Diary!
Our AGM will be held at 11.00am on Tuesday 18th March 2025 and we need you to step up and help us run the Centre by taking on a committee or sub-committee position. It’s time to give back to your community! How good would it be if we had a representative from each of our classes on a committee or sub-committee?? Please contact Lindsay in the office if you have any queries regarding joining the Committee or a sub-committee. Skills being sought include marketing, financials, legal, program coordinators, fundraising, Centre promotions, social media whiz… basically there are many roles to be filled!
So, check out all the great classes we have for you and remember to enrol sooner rather than later to make sure you secure a place in your favourite classes. Please note that some classes actually start on Tuesday January 28th, rather than Wednesday 5th February, which is when the schools return.
The office will be reopening Tuesday 28th January, but if you need to contact us before then, please do so through our website.
