One day, Ollie finds Rocky, a one eyed, one- legged rooster. He takes him home… and, it’s a disaster. Rocky’s antics result in Ollie making a new friend and finding the courage to deal with local bully, Dirk Slavic.
We can all learn a lot from a one-eyed, one-legged raggedy rooster!
As you may have noticed, the SCBWI website was replaced at the end of May 2023 by SCBWI HQ. It looks very different and may have some bugs while the site beds in.
The new website has the same url as the old one: https://australiaeast.scbwi.org
Marjorie Crosby-Fairall has worked long and hard to recreate our region pages, but HQ will be in touch with all members about how to create your new online member profile page.
If you don’t hear from them, this may be because your membership isn’t up to date. This will be a good time to check your records. SCBWI HQ are updating their renewal reminder system with the new site, which is good news.
At present, the events pages are still being created, so until they are operational you can find all SCBWIAustEast events on our blog at: https://scbwiaustraliaeast.com/events
You will still be able to access our blog: https://scbwiaustraliaeast.com
