Women’s round table is all about talking.
Now is your opportunity to discuss issues that are relevant to you, your family and your community in an informal relaxing setting. Guest speakers will be invited from time to time to talk on topics and issues identified by the group.
Each session will include a delicious afternoon tea.

Expressions of interest are being sought from people wanting to participate in this activity.
Pick up a Plant Day
The KRNH is looking to hold another Pick up a plant day sometime in Spring, a good time to plant and re-establish your gardens. Hopefully many more houses will be completed by then and some serious gardening can commence. Keep an eye out for details in future Mountain Monthly and for flyers in coming months for dates.
Local Flora Identification
We each have a story to tell whether it be fact or fiction. We are looking to have some writing courses during the first semester but details have not yet been finalised.
