Tour guides and trainee brickmakers wanted

The Brickworks needs more guides to conduct pre-booked group visits around the site. This is usually on Thursdays but it's not a regular committment. Full training will be given, a script is provided and there'll be lots of help. We also need people to be "trained" as handmade brick makers for demonstrations.

If you'd like to help with this please contact me at the earliest opportunity.

Dave Clothier and Universal Organ
Dave Clothier playing his John Smith 26 note organ. EMail Dave on davescarpcrazy@yahoo.co.uk if you'd like him at your function


If your sound is "on" you can hear the organ playing.

Even though it rained for a couple of hours in the afternoon, everyone had a great time !

The face painting was popular with the kids....and some parents too !
