32nd Annual Woodworking Show this month
ON Saturday and Sunday, October 26-27, 9am to 4pm each day, the GV Woodworkers are holding the 32nd annual Woodworking Show at the multipurpose pavilion at the Shepparton Showgrounds.
This year’s Woodshow features the National bi-annual Scrollsaw Exhibition, where you can view the best scrollsaw work from across Australia, plus a whole weekend of wood working demonstrations, food trucks, plus timber, wooden merchandise, and toys created by GV Woodworkers available for purchase.
It is also a great opportunity to pick up unique pieces and learn more about woodworking. GV Woodworkers are looking for new members, particularly skilled supervisors, to help keep the club alive. The club is a membership club, run by volunteer supervision, and has a diverse membership including youths, a high percentage of females, and some that come with carers.
“We are open to the whole community of all abilities, and we are looking for like-minded people to come join our club,” said president, Chris Harvey. “Apart from our regular workshop days, General Meetings are monthly where members make toys that are donated at Christmas time. Members also mill their own timber, which is available for sale.”
“Supervisors not only oversee our individual projects, but they are often hands-on in assisting, making the decision for a novice or unskilled woodworker to learn new and exciting things,” Chris said.
Supervisors have a varying degree of experience and oversee individual projects and offer hands-on assistance and decision-making for novices or unskilled woodworkers.
So, if you are keen to learn new skills, would like to have access to a wide variety of woodworking machinery, or share your knowledge and interest in woodworking come to the Woodshow, meet with current members and find out more about our activities and facilities.
Entry to the 32nd annual Woodworking Show is $12.50 for adults, $10 for pensioners and children under 16 are free. For more information, or to enquire about joining GV Woodworkers, visit www.gvwoodworkers.com.au or phone Chris on 0407 320 102.
