Hi Sheddies, If you are currently receiving two copies of this email, it is because we send an update to our members, and another one to people that have signed up for a newsletter via our website. Sometimes we only send updates to members - if you want to stop receiving this additional copy, just unsubscribe at the end of this email. Last week was a bit of a landmark moment for us, as we signed a sub-lease with the Coolum Men's Shed for an 888m plot behind the Community Centre. We have signed contracts to get a storage shed up on the higher ground, and are seeking funds for woodworking and ceramics equipment to put in it. Once finished we will have a place to store our equipment and a covered outdoor space better suited for activities such as woodwork, ceramics and mosaics. There will be time later to think about what we want to do with the rest of the space - so get thinking about what would work for you! If you have experience in building design, planning, construction, landscaping, fundraising or philanthropy we need your help! Please get in touch if you think you are able to contribute. It's also been great to see more activities being organised over on our Band App - a trip to the circus, lunch out in Marcoola, a trip to a crochet shop and beginning runners club (Wednesdays mornings). If you want to keep in the loop with these activities organised by other members, then the Band App is where it's happening. Most things get onto the calendar, but casual activities tend to start up on Band. The photos below show Kaia sorting the mosiac ready for our workshop, Annie rocking the mini macrame plant pot earrings made for her by Simone, Simone's slab pottery plant pot and Nell's experiments with bleach tie dye. Book now Some of these activities have not been added to our public calendar yet - please book soon if you want a spot. Monthly goddess gathering starts 29th Feb - just a few spots left! Indulge yourself with a 2 hour session guided by Simone. If you really like the bit at the end of a yoga class, then you will be in heaven here. This chilled Friday night is a time for you to relax, destress and think about what you want to achieve for the month ahead. Bring your journal if you have one :-) Includes restorative yoga, meditation and a herbal tea at the start of the evening 4th Friday of the month, $40 - dress comfy- pjs welcome ;-) book here: https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=10787799 Music workshops coming up on 27th March.

 Hi Sheddies,
We had a great time visiting Annie's place this weekend, lots of inspiration! Due to health and safety, you must have completed an introductory workshop before you attend other mosaic workshops and activities (except for the shop visit!). We will run introductory workshops a few times a year, so please let us know if you want to go on a waiting list. Mosaics: Mosaics outing 23rd March to local supplier - final details tbc, but you can book here: https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=20329784 Mosaics introduction (3 spots left) - Easter Saturday 2nd April book here: https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=20324626 Regular Mosaic meetup on 4th Tuesday of the month (must have completed Mosaic Introduction with Annie before attending): https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=20329784 Book club bookings: Women that run with the Wolves, at the shed every 2nd Thursday 6.30pm - working through the book of the same name, we are up to chapter 10 - clear water nourishing https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=13446213 Sheddies off the shelf Friday evening with dinner out, every 5 weeks : https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=20325671 Cool Readers Friday lunchtime with lunch out, every 6 weeks : https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=20325891 Messy Play/ Colour Crew meetup this Saturday (2nd Saturday of the month) This meetup is for giving yourself a longer time to work on projects with the girls. We haven't had time to plan anything specifically. Nell`might try the tie dye with bleach technique as she has a lot of dark clothes that need revamping. We haven't had time to prepare any eco dye stuff but Natalie has found us a fabulous teacher, so we will be organising that soon. Another option is to try some handbuilt clay fun. It's a meetup, so everyone is responsible for helping set up and leaving the place as you found it ;-). 10-3 gives you time for a lunch break, and a walk out the back to scavenge for materials if you need them :-) (like the 'wild weaving' that someone shared last week....). People that want to are welcome to stay longer, but they need to lock up book here: https://coolumwomensshed.as.me/?appointmentType=14971266. Monthly goddess gathering starts 29th Feb- Indulge yourself with a 2 hour session guided by Simone.
