The laughter and chatter was flowing thick and fast as members of the GOG tribe gathered in Dickson’s tradies for a New Year get together. 
It was lovely to have new members, as well as ‘old hands,’ gather to welcome another year of making and giving. 
It was lovely to have new members, as well as ‘old hands,’ gather to welcome another year of making and giving. Many members of the tribe took the opportunity to indulge in treats from the restaurant, cafe, and bar to keep them fueled as they knitted, hooked, and nattered. 
As expected after the Christmas/New Year break, the donations table was heavily laden with rugs, goodie toys, and toys of all sizes, showing that members certainly hadn’t been idle over the break. 
Mary reminded members it was time to renew their membership so as to continue to get free access to all of the GOG resources, including supplies to work into donations. 
She also put out the call for animal/pet-themed goodies which are always a hit, fiddle toys for the Walk-in Centres, and Fiddle Muffs and larger soft toys attached to muffs which the ambulance and dementia teams find especially calming for patients.
