With LNY at Rise! Coming up soon, here is more of what you can expect…
We will be celebrating from 6pm to 11pm.
We will set themed climbs specifically for the evening, so there will be a new set to check out.
Pot luck will be 730-9pm, when we will do red envelopes and the raffle draw. 🫣
Then keep climbing or cocktail and play something before we get the karaoke started! 🎤🕺💃
You can play, or learn how to play mahjong all evening - we will have several tables set up around the gym! Even if you’ve never played before, the wonderful will be teaching newcomers! 🀄️
AND Fred will be back doing more calligraphy this year.
We even have a couple of makers selling their wares on the evening!
We can’t wait to see you all there,

Build Phase 3 - part 1 - the mezzanine
Rise turns into a full-on construction account 🦾🦾This phase involved building 2 gantry cranes to lift the clt panels into place 🏗️ we could then pretty quickly position the clt, and the bring the final shape of the unit into focus 🫣
As always, thanks to the massive crew of helpers (Lewis, Andrei, Basia, Matt, Adam, Anna, and many others) and we have to recognise the mammoth efforts of Chi and Conor. 🙏🙏

The plan: themed climbs, POTLUCK (obvs), red packets, cocktails, mahjong?, we magic a horse out of somewhere 🤷♂️ who knows.
