Art in the mill
IT hardly seems like 15 years ago when a group of local artists approached Pedro and Brenda Curr with the preposterous proposal that they wished to hold an exhibition in the Curr’s Historic Ballandean Case and Timber Mill.
With the continuing generosity of the Curr family, the 15th It’s a Case of Art in the Mill will open on Friday night 1 May with an eclectic mix of artworks from 10 of the region’s finest artists.
Featured artists include Goomburra’s Michael Pospischil, Stanthorpe’s Elspeth Cameron, Chris Fletcher, Richard Pfeiffer, award winning Tenterfield artist Linda Nye and Helen Turrisi.
It’s a Case of Art in the Mill opens on Friday 1 May at 7pm and continues to Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 May from 9am until late in Curr Road, Ballandean.
Tafe opens up
TAFE Queensland South West in Warwick is set to host an open house to show the Warwick community how training and further education can open many career doors.
Teachers from industries varying from engineering to hospitality right through to aged care will be on hand to talk about courses, job-outcomes, flexible study and payment options, and recognition of prior learning. The session will run next Monday 27 April from 3pm to 5.30pm at TAFE Queensland South West in Warwick, on Dragon Street.
For more information about this session please call 1300 914 754 or visit www.tafesouthwest.edu.au.
On target
THE Southern Downs Rifle Club (SDRC) will hold an invitational shoot at the Ripley Rifle Range Connolly Dam Road, Warwick, on 26 April.
The Anzac shoot will start at 9am (be there by 8.30am) and will involve the old .303 rifles and the more modern .223 and .308 service rifle calibers.
The shoot will be two sighting shots and 10 scoring shots at 200 yards, then two sighting shots and 11 scoring shots at 300 yards.
Find out and experience what our Anzacs did and the skills they worked hard to refine and use in defence of the country.
Those who have a .303 or another full bore rifle are invited to come along by 8.30am and have a go and experience the sport of rifle shooting and support the day in honor of our service people.
Those who do not have a rifle can use one of the several available at the club.
