Art classes in charcoal, water paints and pastels  were popular with well-know artists, Helen Pammenter (Jamestown) and Gerald Moore (Auburn). Many of the participants were trying art for the first time.

Helen Pammenter helps Mithchell Miller from Kadina to dress as
'the complete artist'.

Louise Johnson from Ardrossan provided craft for the
children. Balloon puppets were popular.

It didn't take long for a new choir to be formed with the leadership of David Shephard (Jamestown) and The Sisters from the Community of St Barnabas and St Cecelia.
