Vinnies also knows that it has asked for blankets many times before, but the need has not diminished. With the cold winds blowing and the temperatures staying cold, more and more people are coming into Vinnies in search of warm blankets. Please, if you can spare any, both Vinnies and its customers would be grateful.

Montague Art & Craft Society may have not been quite as active in public as usual, but one workshop which had begun earlier in the year at the MACS Studio at 24 Glasshouse Rocks Road, the Stained Glass Workshop with tutor Bob Burnside, is just winding up having had COVID-19 breaks in between.

Plenty of action is still happening in our diverse work groups, available to all members. Our en plein air artists, potters, mosaic artists, thread artists, forum for art discussions and practice as well as life drawing work groups are all beavering away, in studio, homes or on-line. Casual visitors are welcome to participate twice before becoming members, just to see what suits them. We always observe COVID-19 safety rules. Membership information is available on 4476 2881.
