A note for your diary

A note for your diary (volunteers needed!)

Make a note for your diary for Sunday 21st November if you're anywhere near Longford. There's to be a special celebratory Birthday Party at Woolmers and that's when we also need volunteers - to help with the parking of visitors in the paddock behind the woolshed and to the main gate to collect the gold coin entry fees. The special day (intended to celebrate the creation of Woolmers Foundation) will be a great day of entertainment, heritage displays and a relaxing and enjoyable day for all the family.

Highlights will include a major historic wool display including traditional blade shearing; spinning and knitting displays, which include a "Learn to Knit" session for kids of all ages; lots of bands and a lively performance by the Longford Morris Dancers.

At 12.30 there will be a performance by the Longford Primary School Choir and the birthday cake will be cut and a taste handed around.

Everyone is invited to come and help us celebrate a fun day for young and old - soak up the atmosphere in the grounds of this great World Heritage listed Estate and, if you like, bring a picnic or enjoy some of the food on sale over a glass of great wine - Tasmanian of course!

There will be tours of the main house (not to be missed) and the outbuildings, as well as the National Rose Garden, which will be in full glorious bloom. A display of vintage cars and motorcycles - with owners ready and willing to chat - and a display of Red Cross memorabilia - these are just a sample of the fascinating things to see and do.

Entry will be by a donation of a gold coin for adults, but children and adults dressed in period costume will be given free entry - and we hope many will take the trouble to dress up for the occassion.

Come one and all! Help us celebrate our birthday on 21st November!
And if you can volunteer to help in any way please contact the office at Woolmers on 6391 2230 or enquiries@woolmers.com.au

See you there!
