I'm having my yearly gastroscopy early the next morning, so an early fasting night for me instead.

I thought I clicked the wrong thread there for a second. Accessing the forum from my phone so everything is a bit small. At Geelong hospital waiting for Julie to go in for her surgery. So as previously advised I will be an apology for this evening.

There you go Crowie, You asked for pictures of Oldgreybeard's post.

Here's a link to a picture of Box Hill RSL WITHOUT Oldgreybeard in it. :D:D :rolleyes:

We could speculate on some things that you make.
And I assume you make them regular, but this is possible not the place to do that.

Look like we were stood up yesterday

My neighbour and myself arrived at the reception at the RSL in Box hill yesterday at 6.50 waited until 7.45
then left

Nobody there

WHERE are you woodturning masters ??

Hi Manfred.

I think the last GTG at Box Hill was in April. One was planned for May but I think too many people could not make the date.

After that we stopped for Winter as it has always been difficult to get people out into the cold. Whenever there is a GTG there will be a post in the Forum GTG topic where this thread is.

Now that the weather is getting warmer again someone might just get things started again.

Meanwhile, If you and your neighbor want to have a social gathering with a few like-minded people, I am hosting an Open Shed day at my place in Hoppers Crossing this coming Sunday. Just follow the link in my signature below for details and let me know if you wish to attend, by posting in that thread, and I will PM you my address details.
