Spring school holidays are here again and ACC is closed for two weeks. We’ll be back on Monday 2nd October with a full program of activities carrying us through to the end of the year.

Happy holidays.

In term 4 Artful Painting and Drawing begins on Monday 9 October from 1-3pm. The cost is $320 for 8x2 hour classes.

Clare tutors this fun and relaxed adult art group and provides instructional lessons on painting and drawing.

Enrolments are open now - bookings via swirlart.com.au.

Already know your way around an electric drill and jigsaw - but don’t have the tools or space at home to build your new shelf, chair or planter? We have a few places left in our Intermediate Women in the Shed group in Term 4.

It runs on Thursday afternoons from 1-4pm for 6 weeks starting Thursday 19th October and costs $240.

Bring your own project ideas and materials along, use our tools and space and tap into the knowledge of the supervisor.

If you have already taken our introduction course or have sufficient experience with tools then book a place here!

We will be hosting our AGM on Monday 23rd of October at 6:30pm here at Alphington Community Centre.

This year we’ll be combining our AGM with a dinner. We hope our volunteers and regular attendees can come along to help us celebrate the year - and get to know each other more!

Please let us know if you would like to attend for catering purposes. You can RSVP here.

The Alphington Toy Library has been reinvented online. You can now scroll though all the toys, book them at a time that suits you, then pop past to collect them on Tuesdays.

Find out more and join up here.

This week Sarah (our volunteer who comes along to fill the orders) has put together some borrowing ideas for the theme

‘Do you want to come to my party?

Toys in our library that fit in with this theme include:

• costumes - pirate, fairy, ballerina etc.

• outdoor games - stilts, tunnels, parachute for group activities etc.

• wooden birthday cake

• party set (great for sustainable parties)

• tea set

• board games
