A Nordic Festival is currently in the making for the weekend of 22-23 May 2010 in Warburton. The festival is a not-for-profit event organised by the Warburton Chamber of Commerce in consultation with the local Nordic communities. Any funds raised during the event will go towards the next year's festival and our Warburton Community Christmas Party.

Friends of Norway is reinvigorating the “Norsk kveld”, which used to be held last Friday of each month at someone’s home. We have decided, though, to relaunch this function as a “Norwegian Sunday afternoon”, from 1pm to 4pm, at someone’s home, in a park in the form of a picnic, or similar.

We are seeking a Norwegian speaking kindergarten teacher to facilitate and run our Norwegian Childrens Playgroup. The Playgroup takes place at Toorak House from 10:30 am to about 1 pm every second and forth Tuesday of the month.

Applicants need to have some experience working with young kids. Interested candidates can contact Friends of Norway on: info@friendsofnorway.asn.au
