Coming events 2008

Sunday 8 June 2008: Back-to-back wool challenge

9am to 4pm at Tocal Homestead. Teams of seven race against the clock to shear a sheep, spin the wool and knit a jumper in the fastest time in the world.

This year two teams will compete at Tocal Homestead against other teams from Australia, Japan, Canada, New Zealand and Scotland.

Visitors to the event can cheer on their favourite team and between times enjoy the workshops, demo's and music.

Mini workshops runs all day. Choose from these short, fun classes: needlefelting, paint a silk scarf, weave-it squares, and jewellery/beading.

Refreshments, soups, sandwiches, sausages and afternoon teas on sale. Lovely handcrafts and wonderful textiles on sale at the the 'Back to Back" Trading Table.

Entry to the event is free. A gold coin donation at the door will be gratefully accepted. All proceeds go to the Mater Cancer Research Unit.
