The Marble Bar CRC is looking to support community classes running out of the training centre. We’ll provide free room hire, help with promotion and purchase some supplies to run the class.
 
Sound interesting? We think so. We’re picturing some low-key sessions in the evening or afternoon, maybe knitting, photography, crafts… you name it! Could be a few sessions of the same thing, or something different every week, or random single and multi-part sessions whenever works, we’re still working out the kinks - so please don’t hesitate to let us know what’s going to work for you. If you’re only willing to be talked into one session, that’s fine too!

If you’ve got some secret skills or know any talented individuals who might be interested please let us know
