Thread: Kiama wood show 2008

Are we going to arrange a meeting or wear our forum caps? Saturday morning is my targeted time.

OK, I have checked out Hindmarsh St with Whereis and no go, so can anyone enlighten me as to where the Masonic hall is.

Pat I plan on being there on Saturday morning at this stage.
Cheers
Barry

Just past Terralong Street ,near where all the old miners cottages or whatever they are supposed to be,opposite the Leagues Club.
Was down there the other day visiting a mate of mine who owns a few of the shops there.

Don't use Whereis, use Google Maps

Type in Terralong St Kiama NSW, and it will show and optionally give you directions from wherever.

Think confirmation of location is needed

From this link

I am getting this information
Kiama (NSW)
Kiama Woodcraft Group Annual Woodcraft Expo
Venue: Kiama Masonic Hall, Hindmarsh St, Kiama. Free entry,
9am-5pm both days
Contact: Joe White, organiser, Ph: 02 4297 0916

Yet when I do a Google map search the closest Hindmarsh St is in Gerringong further south the next town.

The old Masonic hall which is on the historic walks trail is along Minnamurra street around the corner from the cottages under the viaduct near the old Firestation.

other wise at the intersection of Tarralgon st & Collins St.

Ray, the Masonic hall is in Collins St Kiama as marked. It is the main thoroughfare thru Kiama and gets called a few names to confound the living bejesus out of everyone.

Thanks Pat thats where I figured it would be as I saw it 2006.

Ok I/we will be there for sure

Thanks for that Pat, was a bit confused as the AWR had the location as Hindmarsh St which doesn't appear to be in Kiama.

Cheers

The Hall is next to Hindmarsh Park, that's were most of the confusion stems from.

It's easy to find, and a great drive down.
See you there
Greg

I'm easy to avoid

Been done it good display of works many which appeared to sell during the day the turners, carvers, pyro and some fellow doing a Triton Gifkin display top show fella's and ladies.

Great to meet up with Pat proudly wearing his WW Forum shirt & Hat, I don't own one so couldn't & Mal and Greg Oh those timbers, That Black Bean

Some other fellow came up and introduced himself unfortunately I didn't hear him clearly all I can think he said was Jay. Almost thought he was Santa but had lost weight

Leigh & Yvonne Ferguson from Wood Eze http://www.wood-eze.com.au/index.html
were there had a lot of stuff thanks for the specials guy's.

Mal & Greg had the best spot out the back in the sun listening to the Jaz & Blue's Festival. They reckon it was tops they could still hear it over the top of the airconditioner motors from the shops behind them making sure they didn't get cold feet sitting in the shade.

Sorry you didn't make it Chris but Pat said he would share his stash of Mal's timbers with you.

Bumped into a few other recent people I know also from the Ornimental Turners Group.


Now I was a bit just as we were leaving a young fella about 15/16 wearing a hat one of those old grandad hats like Stirlo wears, was watching intently a bowl being turned.
