It must be a mammoth effort to bring it all together with the quality of tutors (and product) that you offered at the retreat.<BR/>I think all things considered the retreat was a HUGE success and quite a few of us are already saving for the Sydney one...<BR/>I will have to dig out my comments sheet (did you give it to us at the retreat?)...I still have a few things I havent unpacked so will check and send it off asap.<BR/>Thank you for a wonderfu time and the chance to (1) take classes with such wonderful tutors and (2) meet so many other like minded people... had lots of FUN!Jackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347191565099767347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656669892140207786.post-72466758560677607402008-06-03T16:32:00.001+08:002008-06-03T16:32:00.001+08:00Wow.. sounds like the Perth and he Melbourne one ...Wow.. sounds like the Perth and he Melbourne one were totally different. i LOVED all about perth, even the instant coffee..well not that bit, but you cant replace the smell of wood fires, fresh air and that amazing home cooking.<BR/><BR/>PLEASE!

I have been to two Kiwi Scraps events there and they are wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Huge room for Friday or Saturday night "Art till you drop" kind of all for one...<BR/><BR/>Have the group dinner on the Sunday night?<BR/><BR/>I can NOT wait :)<BR/>BxoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656669892140207786.post-11437230212453013262008-06-02T07:42:00.000+08:002008-06-02T07:42:00.000+08:00Yay Jo!!!!

Well done girls, sounds like you are on a roll already!!!<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of having the classes, accom and meals all at the one place, that would work so well I think!!! I also agree with Corynne, a room to art at night is a great idea!!! <BR/><BR/>Annnddd dont forget the vending machine for those of us who are addicted to Diet Coke LOLJo Wholohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292874040683251627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656669892140207786.post-91515737624724513772008-06-02T05:44:00.000+08:002008-06-02T05:44:00.000+08:00Hi Jo, Well done, I haven't seen a comments sheet ...Hi Jo, Well done, I haven't seen a comments sheet (still in the mail perhaps?) but you're covered everything I would have mentioned anyway. <BR/>The only thing I would say might be nice for next time, is that I felt really torn between wanting to go out to the diner and staying back at the accommodation to carry on working on what we had learnt. If everything is going to be in one place next time I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a room available at night where those that want to, can carry on working. It's really nice to talk to others and see what other classes have been up to at the same time....just a suggestion. <BR/>Regarding refreshments...I'd be one of those that wouldn't bother to stop, but I did feel the lack of tea and coffee being available before and after the classes....I'm wondering if just providing an area that has tea coffee milk (sugar) and a jug would be viable and cheaper than getting some one to do full on refreshments. <BR/>just my two cents worth, I thought the whole thing was a big sucess, and I'm very grateful to have the chance to learn from such good teachers. I can't wait to see what you have cooked up for next year.<BR/>CorrineCorrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835431780884002644noreply@blogger.com
