Holiday Workshops are a great way to get a taste of this creative hobby ...KNITTING...SEWING...CROCHET..., and learn the basics of these very useful skills; and you get to take home an item(s) which you've made by yourself from start to finish. The class runs from 10 am - 4 pm, and is suitable for students aged 7+. Beginners are very welcome, as we'll be starting with learning the basics, safety in the sewing room, using the machine and simple have-sewing; and the project will be finished in time to bring home at the end of the workshop. Use of sewing machines, all patterns, fabric etc is included in the cost. However you do need to bring lunch/drink/morning tea. Booking is essential as class size is kept to 4-5 student. So either book for yourself, or organise your own group to enjoy a great day sewing! Please visit website for a detailed dates/projects page: under Holiday Workshop/ October 2017.

Experience extraordinary visual theatre, set in a wondrous tinkering heaven! Take a journey to an eccentric place where gadgets are poetic, puppets are naughty, machines untamed and circus tricks pop-up when you’re least expecting it! Developed and performed by Paris-trained, multi-disciplinary circus artist and quirkologist Jens Altheimer, Loose Ends features contraptions, tricks and quirky characters. Familiar household items are transformed and given surprising new uses, offering a humorous and human look at the world that surrounds us. Rich in visual variety, audiences will be stunned by the contraptions coming to life before their very eyes in this curious world. Loose Ends is about friendship, acceptance and loyalty. There’s plenty of entertainment with a dose of emotion in a story about a man who thinks he can organise all his life in boxes… well, he’ll have to learn a big thing about real friendships.

Roadrunner Instructional Baseball League and Little League Baseball Teams The instructional league is the next step for 8-12 year old boys and girls following Roadrunner Tball Smash. Children may choose Tball Smash or Instructional league depending on their interest and skill level. Ideally children will have the concept of how the game works and be able to throw the ball 10-15 metres and catch the ball thrown to them. The league will feature optional training for all players on Wednesday nights and parent pitch games on Friday nights. The games will feature 4 Roadrunner teams and focus on playing “real” games of baseball with modified rules and coaching as the games take place. Roadrunner Little League Team For the first time ever, we will be entering in a team in Baseball Victoria’s Minor Little Leauge competition. Players need to nominate whether they want to be considered for this team. Twelve players will be chosen by our coaching staff based on performance and skill level demonstrated in the training sessions leading up to the start of the season. Details of this program include: •Training for those wishing to be considered for the Roadrunner Little League team will commence on Wednesday, September 27th, 530pm – 7pm, and will continue throughout the season on Wednesday nights. •Home and away games with other clubs on Sunday mornings (most likely 9am game time start) against other clubs in our charter; •Our charter consists of Preston, Essendon, Fitzroy, Newport, Werribee (and maybe Doncaster) Baseball Clubs. The good news is that for the far west clubs, it’s typically a 30 minute drive via the Western Ring Road on a Sunday morning – no different than trying to get to Doncaster shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon! J •Proper baseball rules – the children will be pitching and hitting according to the proper baseball rules. •Length of the season will be similar to the Instructional League. More details are available on our website. Pricing includes uniforms, club and Baseball Victoria fees. Please refer to our registration program on our website for terms and conditions.
