So – after months of hard lockdown – it looks like Melbourne is smashing it out of the park on the covid front.

Combined with the blossoming of spring, there is a real optimism in the air that we hope is more contagious than the bug that started this.

And we’re also gearing up for a grand restart – after a false start in July. We’ve got new dates up until June 2021 – so if you have been waiting for the opportunity to brush up on your skills or put that new piece of equipment through its paces now is the time.

We can’t wait to see you soon (not via ZOOM).
