Mate, does anyone smile in NSW? :):p

[wheelinround]

Good job with the photo's Nick especially prior Pat's snack attack 3 large pieces of each I was told.

[Ross]

Mate, does anyone smile in NSW? :):p

We take seriously.

Ross

[Greg Ward]

What's to smile about in NSW?
Seen what our our state Labor Government has been up to lately?
Seen what our our Federal Labor Government has been up to lately?
And both governments are now run by a member of the fairer sex.

Not that I've got a thing about women, I mean I watched the tennis a lot over the past week.....

No wonder we're grumpy
(Hope Lynne doesn't read this.......)

[Sawdust Maker]

We take seriously.

Ross

told us to take him seriously ...

So we did, he's the axe wielder after all :doh:

[munruben]

Fair enough guys.:D

[RETIRED]

Thank you to all who organised and participated.

I had a great time and it was good to put faces to names.

I got all my deliveries done and clients seen on Monday.

Got down the highway and the van overheated and blew the head gasket, so we had a nice trip home in a flat top tow truck.

[wheelinround]

Thats not good news how did they tie you down to the truck :p

[nz_carver]

Hey all im still eating cake and today I think I might sharpen my tools and do some turning

but big thanks to everyone for a grate day

[tea lady]

Not that I've got a thing about women, I mean I watched the tennis a lot over the past week.....

No wonder we're grumpy
(Hope Lynne doesn't read this.......):rolleyes: I'm telling on you! :p

[Christos]

It's been a week since I have been able to get onto the web site.

I also wish to add my thanks for the pictures.
