-Workshops are held around once a month 10:30 to 15:30.

+Lunch does happen but the timing depends on what each of us is up to. But it is a good time to talk through issues you may be having with your home layout. No over-bearing advice - just friendly options.

-Depending how hard Gary Walinck has pushed us we start to wrap-up between 15:30 and 16:00.  Again, this is more quality time to talk through issues and learn how others have tackled, successfully or not, what we may be encountering.
