Craft centre awaits further easing of restrictions

Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts remains in lockdown under current NSW Health orders, according to president Mr Peter Mulholland.

"Lockdown has prevented us from holding committee meetings and running our classes," he said.

"It also means that our Annual Exhibition and Sale, that was scheduled for the last weekend in October, has been cancelled.

"Current restrictions mean that Term 4 classes cannot return on time.

"However, further easing of restrictions which are estimated to be announced in late October, once 80 per cent double vaccination rate is achieved in NSW, may make it possible to safely recommence classes from then.

"Many members have remained active with their arts at home, which has undoubtedly assisted them to survive under lockdown conditions.

"It also means that our 2022 Exhibition and Sale which is scheduled for October 28-30 next year will be very well stocked.

"Our Boobs and Bags group has continued with their great work from their homes providing regular supplies of comfort cushions for post-operative breast cancer patients to Gosford Hospital."
