Perth Woodwork Show Stand.
Our small, in numbers (10) and in age (nearly two years) decided to enter a stand at this years Perth Wood Show (finished tonight). We were allowed FREE attendance but not allowed to sell, which was fine as our intention was to attract some members. We had no idea of what public interest there might be.
The result was that for the three days we were delighted with the interest shown. We think that operating three saws was the attraction, mind we were also proud (self praise is no recommendation we know!!) of our display. We were also very surprised at the number of people who said that they had a saw but didn't use it, still in the case!!!
Whether we will get additional members is to be seen. We do realise that we a disadvantage or two - being in the very southern suburbs and meeting on a Tuesday morning (we are thinking of an evening meeting if we can arrange it).
Anyway we are presently feeling pretty smug that we have flown the flag for scrolling in our small way.
Attached are a couple of pictures.
Regards,
Bob H.

Congratulations...... great to get a good feed back isn't it? I really enjoy taking the saw and showing people what it can do. Most people seems so suprised you can make much more then fretwork clocks...... seeing toys and boxes, bowls etc really gets the interest going.
Our scrolling group is part of the Albury-Wodonga Woodcrafters. We meet Wednesday mornings and get anywhere from 6 to 10 scrollers, as far as I know going to afternoons was never mentioned, of course it does leave out anyone still working.
Good luck ... hope you will get new members
