Thanks Ken,
We do a couple of kids workshops a year, it help give a little back to the community.
and the kids get a thrill when they show you what they have done and we give them a round of applause.
It is usually a great afternoon.

So how did it go ?
If the numbers were that good I think every club should try it.
