New roof for pottery centre

Members of Ettalong Beach Arts and Craft Centre are celebrating after they received news from Gosford Council that the Centre was successful in receiving funding for the installation of a roof for its pottery centre.

The Centre received the funding following an inspection by Gosford Council which revealed that the roof sheeting over the pottery section of the building was severely damaged and need replacing.

Gosford Council's coordinator of building operations Mr Peter Donohue said that severe heat from a kiln positioned directly under the affected roof sheeting was the main contributor to its deterioration.

"The existing kiln is not flued and the suggestion was put forward, should the roof sheeting be replaced that it would be advisable to include the installation of a flue to vent heat from the kiln and prevent the same issue reoccurring," said Mr Donohue.

The work to replace the roof will take place during the school holidays.

The Centre will also hold its annual Christmas exhibition at the Peninsula Community Centre on Saturday, December 24, and Sunday, December 25.
