PRESIDENT’S PAGE

Here we are on the eve of the Woodshow as I write

this page. Just this morning in the Shepparton News a

publicity article and photo was predominant on page 3.

I have done an interview with Matt Dowling at the

ABC and have another with Community Radio

tomorrow Wednesday at 7am .

Raffle tickets are rolling in and sales look good but I

would really like someone to take over as Raffle co-

ordinator of our next Woodshow . As you may or may

not know my wife Jan was prepared to look after the

raffle but due to her operation and Chemo treatment I

took on the task which took away my full attention on

the Woodshow preparation so I hope I got everything

done. Thanks to all members who manned sales sites

and looked after sites.

On a completely different subject our household

wheelie bin had not been emptied for three weeks

although it was put out each week. Our Thursday for

Friday pick up so if you see the bin out on Saturday

morning please bring it in.

When you read this the Woodshow will have been

and gone, so I hope all went well.

Carroll's Chronicle February 2018

We have been throwing the R word around for some time now and have decided to make

a few changes to the hours and days we work , this has all come about due to outside

factors last year and a bad start to this year. This will give us a normal 2 day weekend

like we used to have before we started this business over 20 years ago. Yes we need a

bit more Rest.

So the changes will take effect from the 10th of April 2018 , the week after Easter.

Tuesday - Friday 9 am - 4pm

Saturday 10 am - 12pm

CLOSED SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

We will still be closed on public holidays, long weekends and shows so call ahead if not

sure.

We would appreciate if you could advise all friends and club members of the changes as

we know that not all of you get our newsletters.

The shop is still growing with lots of smaller bits and pieces getting added regularly, with

the new format we hope to keep you more informed.

We are rebuilding some of our displays as some have noticed when they come into the

shop, this has 2 effects, when we have shows a lot of the cupboards will just need closing

up and pushing onto the truck and makes it cleaner for you to see all the items available.

FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO CHANGE OUR PHONE NUMBER

TO THE GROVEDALE NUMBER, 03 5243 0522
