Health chat: Self-care for women through life's seasons
Libraries
Join us for a special health chat that includes an empowering presentation on self-care for women. Feel inspired to nurture yourself through all of life’s seasons.
Presented by mental health professionals Dr Vicky Wall and Gaye Idec, the talk is tailored to the unique challenges women face across different stages of life. Each season of life brings its joys, challenges and opportunities for growth as we navigate relationships, attempt to balance the demands of parenting with other personal or professional goals, adjust to midlife transitions including menopause, and reflect on our journey and priorities in retirement and later life.
The short presentation celebrates the resilience of women as well as explores practical strategies to prioritise mental and physical wellbeing, rediscover purpose and thrive through every season of life, from postnatal and motherhood mental health to perimenopause and menopause.

Kate says she has always been a creative soul. She enjoys playing with the subtleties of colours that complement one another then adding layers of finer details with patterns and textures creating a sensory experience.

Winning More Research Funding - By Design
Community events
Unlock funding. Drive impact. Elevate your research.
Great research deserves great results—but too often, R&D projects fail before they even begin. Why? Because impact starts with design. Without a strategic approach, key insights are missed, funding is lost, and valuable research goes nowhere.
This workshop is your fast track to mastering R&D project design—helping you create projects that attract investment, deliver value, and drive real-world change. You’ll learn how to structure projects for success, choose the right design approach, and align with investor expectations.
If you’re tired of stalled projects and "unfortunately, you were unsuccessful" letters, this session will give you the practical tools and strategies to turn ideas into funded, high-impact research.

Kate says she has always been a creative soul. She enjoys playing with the subtleties of colours that complement one another then adding layers of finer details with patterns and textures creating a sensory experience.
Stephen began his wood turning experience with a wonderful teacher/turner who instilled in him the maxim “We are making a thing of Beauty”. From there he became heavily involved in the world of woodcraft especially woodturning. "It is my therapy, my hobby, and a great joy in my life.”

Old SchoolHouse Gallery August Exhibition "Textures in Nature"
Community events
Textures in Nature” is the August Exhibition at the Old SchoolHouse Gallery. Members Kathy Delaney and Kate Stimson are joined by their guest Stephen Schumacher – all interpreting textures in nature through their own creative mediums.
Kathy Delaney paints the textures of the sea, rocks and foliage in oils revealing both the soft edges and harsh surfaces that we see in the environment around us.
Kate says she has always been a creative soul. She enjoys playing with the subtleties of colours that complement one another then adding layers of finer details with patterns and textures creating a sensory experience.
Stephen began his wood turning experience with a wonderful teacher/turner who instilled in him the maxim “We are making a thing of Beauty”. From there he became heavily involved in the world of woodcraft especially woodturning. "It is my therapy, my hobby, and a great joy in my life.”
Come and meet the artists at the Opening event on the first Saturday in August from 5pm. All welcome.
