QSW&FA Mapleton Weekend – QCCC – application form downloadable here
22nd – 24th July, 2011
It’s the Chinese “Year of the Rabbit” so what better way to celebrate than to have a “bunny” theme
It’s time to start planning for QSW&FA’s annual camp at Mapleton. This is a beautiful area especially in the winter when we can rug up and wear our hand crafted winter woollies. We have the use of Kirkwood Hall, plenty of room to spread out, and a fireplace where we can sit and knit. For the early risers, there are bush walks in the grounds and other facilities available for their entertainment. The local Mapleton shops are only a short walk away and are well worth investigating during the weekend.
Activities :
- Gift Exchange – bring a small fibre related gift wrapped in plain paper if you wish to participate in the gift exchange on Saturday afternoon. The main raffle will be drawn on Saturday night.
- Friendship Table – as in previous years, we will have a friendship table in the hall for giveaways.
- Sales table – for selling your ‘produce/articles’ if required. There are no commissions and this is your responsibility.
- Saturday evening meal – Dress up in your hand crafted creations for dinner on Saturday night.
- “Show and Tell” Saturday evening – so bring your latest creations to put on display.
Shops :
The shops are always very popular and are located in the usual room at the end of Merrin lodge.
