150 years (1866 -2016) Anniversary Celebrations! St. Andrews Presbyterian Church has been located in the heart of Victoria, “Old Town” for 150 years. The first church was a wooden, classic building at the corner of Gordon and Courtney Streets. In 1889, the present red brick building was opened at the corner of Douglas and Broughton with its majestic stained glass windows donated by the Dunsmuir family. In 1957, St. Andrews built the present church hall on Courtney Street, known as the Kirk Hall, which is the site of the community free breakfast program on Saturdays. The Kirk Hall is attached to the 1889 heritage designated Sanctuary on Douglas Street. St. Andrews Presbyterian Church has been a continuous presence in Victoria’s life. A major and annual activity for 150 years has been the Soiree or Christmas Bazaar held each year in the late fall.

PACIFIC RIM POTTERS Annual Fall Show & Sale Welcome to Victoria’s longest running pottery show and sale. The Pacific Rim Potters are professional local artists who have been exhibiting ceramics together for 30 years. Linda Vigliotti, Meira Matheson, Cindy Gibson, Ester Galac, Darrel Hancock, Nora Lewin, and Peggy Elmes are the current members, consistently putting together classy and eclectic shows of functional and sculptural pottery encompassing a wide range of styles. Two additional artists have been invited to participate as guests of the group for this exhibition. Muriel Sibley’s functional stoneware is sculptural, often including story-telling or poetic elements. The ceramics of Barb Lovick leans toward the playful, with many pieces having a seasonal feel. All of these potters are skilled at their craft. Colourful garden art rubs shoulders with pottery for the kitchen, elegant Ikebana vases, dramatic display pieces, delicate sculptures and the humble coffee mug. The show is a great place to find that perfect gift, something for yourself, your backyard birds or find inspiration for your next pottery class.
Bowl, by Meira Matheson
The late Betty Burroughs, a founding member who passed away earlier this year, will also have a display, as a mark of the group’s respect for her dedication to her craft and her contribution to the Victoria ceramics community. This is a free, wheelchair accessible event, with parking, complimentary refreshments and door prizes by raffle. Shoppers, browsers and everyone welcome. Knox Presbyterian Church Hall, 2964 Richmond Rd. Victoria. Saturday Nov. 5, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. FREE admission, Refreshments, Door Prizes. MasterCard & Visa accepted. Info: http://tiny.cc/v8yh4x
