Hello everyone, I am so excited that this wonderful forum will be held again. This is my second visit.
At the first convention I attended as a single woman - this time I will bring my husband and my two children. This will be a wonderful holiday for all of us! The skills that I acquired previously were invaluable. I met some lovely like-minded, crazy ladies, enjoyed much laughter and brought home some fabulous treasures that I am still enjoying today!
If you can only attend one conference in your life time - make it Beating Around the Bush 2009!
I hope to see you there.
Yours in stitching

I attended the 2003 BATB in Adelaide and had a FABULOUS time. I came from Perth, WA and was a little bit daunted being on my own, but by the time dinner was over on the first evening I already had a new circle of friends.
I met loads of lovely ladies, learnt lots of new skills and had lots of laughs.
I still keep in touch with the some of the ladies I met, and hope to catch up with them again at the next BATB. I’ve been waiting patiently for the next event and now I can happily pencil it into my calendar.

I am sooooo excited that Beating Around the Bush is coming in 2009, and is not too far away.
I came to Adelaide for the last Beating Around the Bush in 2003, and I made a heap of new friends, thoroughly enjoyed my classes, loved the market day, and went home thoroughly inspired to improve my needlework ( I think I have come a long way since 2003 lol ).
I am looking forward so much to the announcement of the classes and for me it will be hard to choose which ones I book in for!!!!! I can’t wait to see the classes program and learn from such talented people again.

I did attend the last BATB and had a very enjoyable and instructive time. It's interesting and really nice that plans include many new instructors as well as the exceptionally great "old and familiar" too.

I am very excited to see that you are holding another of your Beating around the Bush needlework conventions in October 2009.
I am from Hamilton New Zealand and I will definately be there to enjoy the so many wonderful tutors that you have coming.
I would especially like to do a class with Jane Nicholas as I admire her work and books so much. We do not get the calibre of tutors that you seem to have in Australia.

What wonderful news have been looking forward to participating in Beating Around the Bush and to join in the workshops.
What a line up of teachers to be involved. Can’t wait.

I was so excited this morning to receive your email about the next Beating Around The Bush Convention.
My daughter was a baby when I attended the last one, so this must have been in 2003 ... Gee has it been that long?
I look forward to coming to Adelaide in October 2009, enrolling in some of my favourite classes and visiting your wonderful shop again...this is my treat for 2009... 4 days with no kids, no husband and needlework heaven!
