Last Meeting
13th November – Kerikeri
Our last meeting ended up being very impromptu, Denis couldn’t be there as he was not feeling well, and John couldn’t be there to give his talk.
Lynnis gave a talk and slide show on her canoeing adventures from Coromandel to North Cape. Lynnis had ½ a day to prepare her talk. Thanks Lynnis, great stuff. Very inspiring.
Vin talked to us on his method of cutting matting using Acrylic Sheeting and a glass bar as a ruler, very effective.
David Austin and his daughter from Digi-Sub Printing Ltd, a new business at Waipapa, talked to us about what they have to offer e.g. printing (dry lab printing, enviro friendly), picture framing and many novelty products such as printing on t-shirts, mouse pads etc., (50 items to choose from). David and daughter stayed for the rest of the meeting and may become members.
