Christmas exhibition and sale

The Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre's Christmas Exhibition and Sale will be held at the Peninsula Community Centre on Saturday, November 5, from 9am to 4pm, and Sunday, November 6, from 10am to 3pm.

"With so many great activities being held on the Central Coast during this time of year, it was necessary to make the date a little earlier than usual," said organiser Ms Sue Sullivan.

"This will make no difference to the high quality of hand-built creations the artists have been working on to bring the very best to The Peninsula Community Centre," Ms Sullivan said.

"There will be activities specifically designed to appeal to our younger visitors with the always-popular sun catchers, a new hand craft activity and a colouring competition.

"The age categories for the colouring competition will be: up to six years; seven to nine years; and nine to 12 years, and A4 sheets with a Christmas theme have been distributed around shopping centres.

"For those who wish enter on the day, there will be colouring pencils available at the exhibition.

"Winners will be announced at 2pm Saturday and Sunday.

"Visitors will again be delighted with some light entertainment while perhaps enjoying morning and afternoon tea at the cafe where home-made delicacies will be available.

"Each day there will be demonstrations provided by our resident art tutors.

"This year the centre has been forging ahead in leaps and bounds with our students constantly exploring a variety of new techniques across all mediums that Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre has to offer.

"We are fortunate to be blessed with skilled tutors who are steadily making names for themselves winning awards of excellence in all fields.

"The results speak for themselves as our visitors will find when they attend this event."
