YOUTH LEADING THE WAY Local youth were the driving force behind two recent skate park events which attracted over 300 people to the Golden Plains community. The 2nd annual Barwon South West Skate Park Competition held in Bannockburn, and the inaugural Skate Park Competition held in Smythesdale brought young skaters, BMX and scooter riders from all over the State. The events provided significant developmental opportunities for local young people with a whole day workshop, delivered by the YMCA Action Sports Team, designed to provide these young people with the skills to manage and plan skate park events in their local area. Skills gained included event and risk management, budgeting, film/photography, judging, emceeing, and promotion/marketing. Following the success of these skate park events, other local young people have put their hand up to assist with the planning of National Youth Week activities, including the 3rd annual Golden Youth Awards. The awards ceremony will be held on Friday 17 April in Bannockburn where young people will be recognised for their positive contribution to the Golden Plains community. For more event details or information on how to get involved in your local community contact the Golden Plains Youth Activities Officer, Sarah Dalton (o3) 5220 7177 or email sdalton@gplains.vic.gov.au

SPECIAL 1 DAY WORKSHOP PAULINE ROGERS “BUTTERFLY BLOSSOMS QUILT “ With over 30 years of experience Pauline's expertise covers a full range of techniques from appliqué and hand work, to machine piecing and quilting. Pauline began her career in the 1980s as a travelling patchwork and quilting tutor, commissioned by the Queensland Arts Council. She has been a featured tutor at the Australasian Quilting Symposiums, the Stitches and Craft Shows and other craft shows throughout Australia. With a focus on educating quilters she's organised a multitude of workshops, retreats and events over the years, including the Outback Quilters Tour. In 2000, at the Queensland State Quilt Conference, Pauline was recognised for outstanding services to the establishment and promotion of patchwork and quilting to their home state of Queensland. Pauline enjoys helping others learn and perfect patchwork and quilting. In 2006 she was instrumental in the production of a series of sixteen educational DVDs on patchwork and quilting of which she was the featured tutor in three of them: “The Joy of Piecing,” “Foundation Paper Piecing” and the method, ‘Chenilling.’ She believes when teaching it's important to focus on the process, such as accurate cutting and accurate piecing, and that the equipment used is a vital part of this process. Pauline also feels that when the proper tools are used correctly, making a quilt is easier and more enjoyable, and the quilters efforts are rewarded with a better result that will come together much quicker as well. Experimenting with the numerous gadgets available in the marketplace, Pauline has acquired an in-depth knowledge of tools. When demonstrating her favourites at Quilt Shows she continually received requests to visit quilt groups to show them how to use the tools. With such demand the Gadget Queen demonstrations and Hands On Tool School were born. The Haddon Learning Community Centre is proud to be presenting Pauline’s one day quilt block making workshop “The Butterfly Blossom.” This workshop is full of fun techniques for texturising and manipulating fabric. Pauline will guide you and show you lots of the techniques required in making these blocks. You will be able to go home and finish your quilt with confidence. It is a beautiful quilt! The workshop is to be held on Monday April 27th from 10 am ~ 4 pm. Cost for this workshop is only $65.00. For bookings call the centre on 5342 7050. We require 12 students for this course so book in now to secure your place as this is a once only session opportunity. We have also booked Pauline for a one day special machine quilting for “L” PLATES workshop on July 8th, so book now! See colour photos and detail in the course guide in the centre pages of this newsletter.
