#kambah

On Sat 26 Nov, a few of us met at the Diversity Hub on Laidlaw St to have a chat about how to mark Kambah's 50th.

Unfortunately, the sheep at the shops proposal was not successful with ArtsACT but that doesn't mean it's a bad idea. That was about making temporary flocks of sheep for each shops and getting the community to decorate them.

Kambah Turns 50 - a draft schedule for Sep 2024

Sat 7, Sun 8 Kambah Open

All the community/business/groups in Kambah open their doors to the community (everyone we can think - artists, gardens, clubs, shops, Youth Haven, churches)

Evening bonfire - ideal if we can do it on private land (not sure how likely that is)

Bushband, dance party (rave)

see-change e-bike tours of Kambah??

Sun 15 Well-being day

Urambi Hills weed-out/plantings, yoga, sports clubs come-and-try, cooking, gardening
