This weekend: Sat 4<span style="font-size:12.5px"> &</span> Sun 5 November</strong><br>
<br>
Two Sheds Workshop is offering a Paling Fence Building workshop in Bega, 10 am - 4pm each day.
<ul>
<li>The cost for the Two Day Workshop is $250. Please email <strong><a href="mailto:Nellie@twoshedsworkshops.com.au" style="color:#3b5998;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000ff">Nellie@twoshedsworkshops.com.au</span></a></strong></li>
<li> This is a 2 day weekend workshop for women.</li>
</ul>
Spend the weekend immersed in this hands-on workshop learning how to build a timber paling fence. By the end of the workshop you will be using power tools such as a circular saw & the mitre saw with ease. The spirit level & water level will feel like extensions of your arms. You’ll be in love with clamps & your hammer! And you’ll be ready to tackle your own fencing projects with confidence.<br>

Julia Robinson from Reclink writes:<br>
<br>
Reclink is a nationwide, not-for-profit organisation that landed in the Bega Valley after receiving funding through a Black Summer Bushfire Recovery grant. The ethos of Reclink is that people feel better when they are moving their bodies and making social connections.<br>
<br>
We have loads of different programs to cater for everyone and most activities are inclusive. Ranging from yoga to dance, tai chi to walking, lawn bowls to balance, we have you covered!<br>
<br>
We have also utilised local facilitators who are brilliant at what they do – all our participants will surely testify to that. Best of all, thanks to the grant, all programs are free!<br>
<br>
Over the last few months, we have recruited over 250 participants all connecting through fitness. Watching new friendships form and witnessing people on a quest for fitness is truly a wonderful thing.<br>
<br>
So, if you are looking to meet new people in your community, and get your body moving, reading this is your sign!<br>
<br>
Sign up as a participant today at Club Reclink on the Reclink website. Call Julia on 0431 531 453 with any questions.<br>

with John Champagne (62 927306) </strong><br>
<br>
>From a bare cow paddock to a 30 year old productive paradise ... seeing is believing. Beautiful and inspiring are the comments we hear often. Multiple Food Forests, wind & fire shelterbelts, passive water harvesting using earthworks, appropriate technology, animal systems and a beautiful hand made passive solar mudbrick home. <br>
<br>
10 am start. 2 hour detailed educational tour. Finish in the house with a cuppa tea/coffee and a muffin. Bookings <a href="https://scpa.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8d3fb42d9d2c7b38f3df7e437&id=e8214e18e1&e=68bd3c6fab" rel="nofollow" role="link" style="color:#3b5998;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">www.permaculturedesign.com.au</a>.<br>
<br>
Growing your own mulch means careful selection of support plants grown in situ that provides biomass. That biomass is chopped and dropped then thickly placed at the dripline of your fruiting tree ... bit like a donut shape. You'll see what I use in Brogo that can be used throughout south east Oz.<br>
<br>
<strong>An Introduction to Permaculture<br>
Sat 25 & Sun 26 Nov</strong><br>
This weekend provides a deep understanding of Permaculture and focuses on learning the 12 Design Principles and seeing how they were applied here in Brogo. Enough to give you heaps of ideas to get started creating Food Forests in closed loop systems using poultry and support plants. <br>
