Mennorode, 13 - 15 April 2012
The weekend committee has reviewed the weekend and given the positive feedback from many guests, we may conclude that it has been a successful weekend. The Mennorode Commission is already busy for the next edition.
We invite you to sign up for the 29th weekend of the Origami Society in Mennorode, Elspeet.
Special guest

Our special guest this year will be Rikki Donachie.
He came into contact with origami at a very young age, but only later he actually started designing his own models.
If you're interested in his work, have a look at his website: www.itsjustabitofpaper.com
Rikki will be present the entire convention and will give several folding workshops.

Exhibition and paper
