Retreat 2018 at Scoutlands

What a wonderful group of ladies FKQ are and what a priviedge to share a few days with them at our Retreat beside the lake near Wanganui.   A Fun filled few days enjoyed by all, along with others who travelled through just for the day or for a few hours.  

Some beautiful work was produced following the mandatory 'auditioning' along with lots of  'story telling' -  loads of laughter - and far too much Food!

Below are some snippets of an awesome few days.


Priorities first  - Coffee!
