The Australian Board members in their respective homes around the continent connected via skype with several TIGHR members who were attending the Sauder Village Rug Hooking Week in Archbold, Ohio. Technically the noise level was very distracting in the public space but the ability to see and “talk with” our fellow internationals interested all involved. Plans are to link TIGHR members who are not able to attend the Tri-Ennial in Strathalbyn in October of 2012 via Skype each day.
