Treasurer Jasmine Ryan said that scheduled workshops for the school holidays were cancelled five weeks ago and the committee made the decision to create a few events online rather than online workshops.
"Everyone is over doing workshops on Zoom," she said. "This way people can do their own thing at their own time, there's no age limit, and they're just a lot of fun."

After some brainstorming they came up with six different competitions, the first of which is in conjunction with local artist Tracey Mackie.
"She released some colouring-in pages on her website and it's something that the community can do for free," Mrs Ryan said.
There are plenty of rocks around the district and the second competition is a rock painting competition.
"When people from nine to 95 are out walking about they may see a rock that may inspire them to get involved," she said.
That competition will be followed by Arrowroot biscuit decorating, best dressed pet, iPhone photography with a spring theme and shadow monsters, an interesting blend of photography and decorative art.
"You decorate your shadow with natural objects and take a photo of it," she said.
