 * U3A explore the delights of Cobargo **

Forty members of U3A Sapphire Coast recently spent a day exploring Cobargo on “The Craftsmen’s Working Village” coach tour. After Devonshire tea at the Train Café in Cobargo, the group visited Sam’s Creek Bookworks. Rhonda Ayliffe, a traditional book artist, sculptor and passionate lover of books showcased her workshop, garden and traditional book binding and printing presses.

Next stop was for a wander through the market gardens and piggery of Cobargo Farm, where they specialise in growing fresh, seasonal produce. Members enjoyed a delicious fresh lunch in the garden, hosted by the owner, Janet Doolin. As an after lunch treat, U3A members indulged in Alfred and Jane’s Cobargo Home-made Ice Cream.

The final destination, Galba Forge, did not disappoint. Phillipe Ravenel demonstrated his blacksmithing skills, creating a fire iron which was purchased by U3A member Margaret Evans. A unique and practical souvenir of a friendly, fun day out!
