25.01.2022 In an effort to keep us all safe, the Learning Centre will be closed. There will be no crocheting or sewing Tuesdays until further notice.

25.01.2022 We have had a scam NBN call at the Centre. Our phone rang twice but hung up after a couple of seconds. Third time was a robo-call saying they were from NBN Co. If we didnt reply we would have our phone and internet cut off. Just HANG UP immediately NBN do not call customers they are a wholesaler to other phone companies. Refer to the telecommunications Industry Ombudsmens website link below.... https://www.tio.com.au//robocall-scam-about-disconnection-

23.01.2022 The NRL season kicks off tomorrow and the Centre has some footie team handtowels for sale. First game Eels v Bulldogs.

22.01.2022 Thanks to a generous donation of a jam melon we are now able to offer Melon and Lemon Jam. The first 10 jars have been sold before the jam made into the jars. An old favourite only $5.00 per jar. Keep alert, we will soon have melon and ginger jam as well.

22.01.2022 New Chocolate layer Cake blanket. Brand New crochet this week. $40.00 Just right for watching the footie on TV on a cold winter night.

22.01.2022 What do you do when a jam customer on Bribie Island gives you some Scorpion chilli he has grown. Scorpion chillis are one of the three hottest chillis in the world. Well you make chilli jam of course. Keep out of reach of children. A quarter of a teaspoon in Tom Yum soup and it was just bearable. Only for REAL chilli eaters. Available at the Centre at Gramps Burn Bar.

22.01.2022 Set up ro help the poor jam starved people of Bribie Island.

21.01.2022 Watching The Melbourne Cup after a nice lunch at the Learning Centre thanks to the sewing ladies. Prizes this year were a choice of a jam or relish.

20.01.2022 Rosella Jam is back in stock.

20.01.2022 We have sold 4 crochet knee blankets this week due to the cooler weather. We still have a few left with some great patterns. The Centre is open most mornings. People are popping by to restock on their favourite jams as well. And yes we have Rosella Jam back in stock. Hopefully the markets will reopen in June.

19.01.2022 We are on the lookout for blood oranges. If you know anyone who has some to share, we gratefully accept donations. Alas, Coles and Aldi have some very poor quality fruit that are not acceptable for making quality marmalade.

19.01.2022 Stock is building up ready for a big breakout market

18.01.2022 Think of the school kids that you know that could do with a laptop to do their online learning. I have been able to refurbish a couple of old laptops that were laying around. If you have an old laptop with Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 operating systems they can still be updated to Windows 10 for free. Add the latest Microsoft Edge browser which is based on Chromium and or Google Chrome. These work with the online learning platforms the schools use or recommend. There is free Office software available for download such as Libre Office or OpenOffice which are compatible with Microsoft Office. Have a clean up and pass on your unused tech

06.01.2022 We are looking for donations of old laptop computers to refurbish for kids to use for online learning. Please ask around. Even if its not working.

06.01.2022 While we havent been closed down yet, students and tutors are self selecting to stay safe and at home. The Council has closed the markets where we sell our craft and jams.

03.01.2022 COVID-19 update. While the Centre will remain open, individuals have chosen to reduce risks and not attend. We were fortunate to obtain a pack of hand sanitiser spray bottles and a bulk supply of disinfectant wipes to reduce risk at the Centre. And we still have toilet paper. Please stay safe until we return to more normal times.
