On a rainy day perfect for soup, over 70 guests attended the Noosa Arts and Crafts ‘Souper’ lunch at the Wallace House to raise funds for upgrades to their pottery kiln.
Proving just how much use the Noosa Arts and Crafts ceramics group get out of their pottery kiln, all 70 guests had their soup served in one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls hand-made by the group.
Held on Tuesday 25 June, guest speaker Dr Irene Rogers gave a heart-warming talk about the strength of Australian nurses during the war.
The talk focused on the impact of the Australian Bluebird nurses, which Dr Rogers wrote a PhD thesis about called Breaking Bread with the dead: the Australian Bluebird nurses of WW1.
Dr Rogers also discussed her time working for many years as a humanitarian nurse in areas of conflict and post conflict.
Noosa Arts and Crafts Club president Gabi Dick said it was a great turn out for the event.
“It is a sold out event and it has been an absolute team effort to put this together,” Gabi said.
“Everyone has been busy, from the potters creating the bowls to the cooks making the three delicious soups.”
