VisitorsFromWellingtonTonight
by Catherine Spencer 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

Hi all, I was contacted yesterday by visitors from Wellington, who have built a couple of almost passive family houses on a shared section in Wellington, who are keen to hear our story, as they try to find ways forward to house families with young children from their church in a better way. Alex and I will meet them this evening in the St Davids St foyer near the cafe at 6.45pm. Not the most congenial, but close to our meeting. Anyone who would like to join us is welcome. They may wish to come for a short time to our meeting, to see how the coloured cards work (hoping we have some!) and meet our group. Apologies for the short notice and if anyone is not happy to have these visitors, please let me know asap. Thanks, Catherine

Kia ora koutou Through the email below I have just been informed that it looks like we nearly and inadvertently caused a fire in the seminar room, by placing a chair near a heater last Sunday. Please be mindful of the heaters. They work on timers.

On Monday there was very nearly a fire in the room as a chair had been placed touching one of the wall heaters, when it was noticed it was only minutes away from igniting, the back of the chair had the material burned off and singed the foam padding! We have now taken the precaution of placing notices warning about not placing items in front of the heaters, but please could you make all your group aware of this also.

Sunday 22 Sept 3-5pm Body Corp Workshop
by Jan Burch 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Kia ora koutou Our next workshop for the Body Corp rules was scheduled for this Sunday. The previous format, with a cuppa/cake to start followed by discussion in small-ish groups will be repeated this month. Afterwards, the results from this Sunday's and the Saturday in August will be collated and promulgated to the whole group so everyone is "in the loop" even if they haven't been able to make these extra workshops. I will arrive just before 3pm with green milk, tea, a jug for hot water and a packet of chocolate biscuits. I know from previous workshops that other people will turn up with coffee makers and much more interesting and delicious afternoon tea options. At the moment, my only concern is how we will get in! Hopefully we'll have that figured out before 3pm ;-) On 27 October (next scheduled one) we envision moving to whole group - but we are hopeful that by then we'll be rubber-stamping adjustments that have already been pretty much ironed out in the two smaller group sessions that we will have had. Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday 3pm. Jan
