PBS OPEN DAY 2012   

Open Day once more at PBS

For the first time ever, the sun shone at our Open Day Saturday Oct 20! We had a lot of visitors and a number of new membership sign ups, and people walking away with a clearer idea about PBS.
   
The success of Open Day is truly a team effort. Thanks to Mary Ann P, Jurgen S, Susan S, Tessel J, Andy M, Vince P, Wendy T, Kate R, Garry L, Ken L, Ruby P, Sam M, Monica H, Raj P, Sarah B, Michael M, Chelsea W, Wagner S, Michelle B, Paul M , Adrian B, Ruby K, Adam R, Chris P, Di C, Helen J, Pat S, Richard B, Wayne S and Jeff H.

Thanks for making the coffees, teas, sausages, telling stories, selling the memberships and merch, greeting people, studio demonstrations, picking up the supplies, doing the artwork, recording voices & images, painting faces, inflating balloons, cleaning and tidying, handling odd jobs, informing the public and most importantly: making outsiders feel like insiders.

 As you can imagine, we really couldn’t have done it without you! It was great to see everyone and meet some new faces.  Thanks to everyone for helping make Open Day a success!
