You know the you are part of a cool event when it's a school fundraiser and the first song the band plays is 'Brick in the Wall' by Pink Floyd! "We don't need no education!!!"
The theme was 'The Roaring Twenties', the venue was the new school hall, the school was Kinma where our boys used to go. I was MC and auctioneer and Gav was drumming in the o so spunky band. Everyone was dressed to the nines in 20's style - lots of peacock feathers and pearls, top hats and feather boas - gorgeous! Just have a look at Saucy Sally, Vicki the Vixen and DJ Bee's Knee's in the background...

It was fabulous fun to debut the new hair (or lack thereof) do....I got lots of great comments and people patting my fuzz!
Gav started off offering to help the band organise a sound system a couple of weeks ago, and somehow ended up as their drummer - and after only two rehearsals together I have to say - THEY ROCKED!! Tight and groovin' with really interesting, eclectic and fun song choices, us girls couldn't stop dancing (the blisters on my feet this morning are testimony to their musical prowess!).

One of the most inspiring parts of the whole evening was the plethora of art on display. Made by both kids and grown-ups and combinations of the two, there were lights made of sheet music, a poem tree, funky mobiles, great photography, paintings and an incredible chandelier constructed 'with love' out of over 200 plastic bottles.
Being a crafty art lover I am now infused with new ideas and warmed through with respect for the creativity of others. Even though our kids no longer attend the school, it is an amazing community in so many ways and I am grateful to still be a part of the Kinma experience. It is wonderful what can happen when passionate, creative people get together with a common goal, some glue, string and glitter!!
Congratulations all on a spectacular event!
