The Wonthaggi Woody April 2019 P1
The colder weather has arrived and with it some of the rain we want. The storm that went through Wonthaggi a couple of weeks ago tested out our workshops and I am pleased to say that all the water stayed outside. Now is the time to put on that extra jumper and get into the workshop and make items for sale/display for later in the year. Also it’s time to remind members that it is important to keep up attendances at regular workshop sessions. The supervisors are there to assist you. To those who have (or are going to) ‘head north’ for the winter, don’t forget to come back.
A number of members have had medical and other issues to face recently. We wish them ‘well’ and hope that things will be back to normal soon. On the brighter side, Roy and Pauline Fischmann recently celebrated their 70 year wedding anniversary, ‘Congratulations!’
A number of new pieces of equipment have been (or will be) installed. Talk to your supervisor about the correct use of these and all other equipment that you use. Be prepared to assist your colleagues when necessary.
The recent (April) edition of the Australian Woodworker drew my attention to some articles in ‘Club Drumbeat’. Three clubs were featured and it is very interesting to read about what other clubs are doing. Also, in the ‘Products’ section was mention of a ‘Casting Resin’ and a ‘Composite Epoxy’. I have tried one or two similar products with varying success. They are used to enhance pieces of work. It would be interesting if members who have used these materials, could share their experiences with other club members.
Finally, ‘ELECTIONS”. ‘Club Elections’. There is only one Club General Meeting (July) between now and the A.G.M. in August. Members need to give thought as to who they want representing them on our Club Committee.

CHURCHIL ISLAND
EASTER SATURDAY
Perfect weather brought out the crowds and we had one of the best days we've had in a while.
We had two mebers on lathes, three pyrographers putting names on toys and 7 assembling toys
with the kids. We put together 186 toys. Some of the parents come back year after year for a new
toy and are very appreciative of the experience and interaction of the kids and toymakers. Some
parents were surprised that we also make kits.
A reminder that the Vietnam Museum day is on Sunday July 7th
We need helpers please!

LES MISERABLES
CART FINISHED
Here's Something I think a few of you might relate to!
Two older gentlemen were venting their frustrations about the woes of modern technology. "I just can't ever seem to remember my darned passwords," complained one of them. The other one smiled. "Oh really, I can never forget mine!" "How do you manage that?" asked the first guy curiously. "Well, I simply set all my passwords to 'Incorrect' so that whenever I'm told that my password is incorrect, I'll remember it!"
Well it is done! Lionel's merry band of dedicated and expert timber artisans have completed
this challenging task. The cart is now in the hands of the Les Mis prop team who has “dirtied
it up” to make it look old and used. According to Lionel it is almost unrecognisable.
I would encourage you all to consider seeing the show. It is on from the 25th May - 9
th June
at the Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre.
