[Cob] Hello and introduction

[Jill Hogan]

Hi Andy and the list
Here at MAT we are about to start building a minature village.It started 
with me looking at minature villages all over the world, and then on 
youth day we built a little cottage with potters clay and a group of the 
youth. They had such fun that they wanted to know when we are going to 
build the next one, and that kicked the project off. We are aiming to 
build the first one on heritage day 24th Sept. This is play time will 
keep you up to date with what is happening. It is fun time.
Second question looking for cobbers in Victoria Australia, know any
