Hey guys so the first Gathering took place on Saturday at 5.30pm.

We had a few guys that turned up and had a few drinks. It was an interesting gathering, and many ideas surfaced for future projects. Our next meeting will be towards the end of July.

World Canvas is heading for some funding in October and hopefully we do get the green light for this to take off. More info on Word Canvas soon.

For those of you who couldn't make it, feel free to contact me any time and we'll have a chat over a coffee.
