The team has had several meetings and are now well on the way to getting the 2022 festival underway. The postcards will be ready for the Kapiti Arts Trail (The Arts Trail 2021 will take place on 6/7 and 13/14 November 2021.) so please do have these on display if you are exhibiting.
Kylie is managing the website and the Festival page has now been updated. Registration of interest to exhibit is now open. Remember as a member you do not need to pay the $25 registration fee. Jenny has engaged our 2022 guest artists. Maria Brockhill, Sue Scobie, and Lee Robertson. The Festival will only proceed under level 1 but we will be monitoring the government guidelines and will review closer to the time.  Adult classes - are full and we have a sizeable waiting list for the beginner's wheels classes. Emily is organising more classes to try and alleviate this.
Young Persons Classes - Paula will be stepping down from tutoring young people next year. We will be looking for someone to take these classes. Please contact Stephanie if you are interested. Holiday classes - for young people will not proceed this holiday as the Adult classes will now extend into this time to make up for classes missed due to lockdown. Classroom hire - It was agreed by the committee that the classrooms will be available for hire. It is preferred the club runs the classes. The preference to hire the rooms will be given to members however consideration will be given to outside requests on a case-by-case basis.
As from 11.59 on Tuesday 7th September you will be aware we will be moving to Delta level 2.
Delta level 2 means that we can use our facility but you will need to wear your mask at all times while inside the club rooms. Please use the sanitising spray on all equipment that you use - before and after use. Please be especially considerate around others and respect their space observing the 2 metre rule. Classes: We will be running classes from Wednesday 8th September. We are aware that the 2 metre distancing is not possible all the time so please be very mindful of peoples space. Masks are required to be worn in class. Please remember to scan in when you sign in. "Wear a mask. Scan everywhere you go," Ardern says. "Be patient, be kind, and support local, these are tough times." "To keep it really simple, if you're out and about at indoor venues, please wear a mask," Ardern says. Masks are "our new normal" at Level 2, she says. Margaret Hunt and Jos Smith exhibition opening was a lively event and enjoyed by all. When we are open, do have a look through there are some great pieces on show. Paula is looking at the dates for the next exhibition which will be impacted by lockdown -as has the current exhibition. More information on this when we know of the level changes.
Whitestone-ware grogged is in stock with a small amount of mid-fire porcelain. Unfortunately, high fire porcelain is unavailable at the moment. We are awaiting PW20.
The next cleaning bees are the 25th September and the 27th November.
All classes have been affected by the closure. Until we get to level two, we will not be able to establish exactly how we will manage the missed classes. Term 3 was set to finish on the 24th September. Your tutors will keep you up to date as decisions come to hand. Tutors of the adult classes have confirmed that they will be happy to resume teaching at Covid Level 2.
Term 4: Lyuba is heading to the Coromandel for term 4. Jojo has agreed to take Lyubas Wednesday night continuing wheel class and Brent Craig will take the Monday night beginners wheel class (for term 4). We will be looking for a tutor to take the Monday night class in 2022. As you will all be aware we are in Level four.
The rooms will be closed until further notice. If you have any concerns please let Caitlin know.
