The rhythmic clickety-clack of 40 weaving machines swells as the doors open at Les Passementeries de l'île de France. They clatter and clash until the clock strikes 12 when, as if by magic, silence falls as the workers break for lunch. Throughout the day, 2,000 metres of braid and fringe pour from the looms in reams of kaleidoscopic colour, while tassels are twisted, pom-poms are fluffed and flowers are knotted by hand.
The tradition of passementerie in the village of Belloy-en-France, north of Paris, dates back to the nineteenth century, but since the Fifties, in France alone, more than 200 passementiers have closed their doors permanently or relocated to Tunisia and China, where both labour and rental prices are tantalisingly cheap. Les Passementeries de l'île de France is one of the last workshops still operating in the country today.

They are exploring the possibility of opening a MindPlus programme in Tauranga in the near future. This is a one day school where children can work with a specialist teacher outside of the mainstream classroom.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the Tauranga community and they are holding an information session next week. The school will be located at a classroom in central Tauranga, however the information session for Parents will be held at Tahatai Coast on Tuesday July 2nd at 5.30pm.
If you know of a family of gifted children, please forward the attached flyer to them and hopefully we can bring this incredible programme to our amazing city.

I am saddened (and feel sick I have to now replace, as a solo mother...will be difficult) that his main form of transport to intermediate and entertainment has been removed from our property.
Would be interested in knowing just how many of these lights are actually working. We have had a blackout after only 2 days of them being installed. What is it like in your area????
