Thanks Graham and Wheelin, it is a wonderful weekend.
There were some tools, parts, fittings and sundries woodwork stalls there last year, and we are working hard to include similar stalls this year. Might even manage a second hand tools stall if we are lucky. I will have more items of woodwork there this year I hope, as I have a little more time to get them done now.
It is shaping up to be a great show and exhibition.
And of course it is held in beautiful Port Macquarie, one of the jewels of the mid-north coast.

Perhaps you could get Mal down, or alternatively arrange an outing out as well?

Mal has been invited and is giving it serious thought. He may want to talk with you Greg.
On another matter we will be having demonstrations of woodturning, intarsia and woodcarving.
For the first time we will also have old tools for sale in both user and collectable/antiques categories.
This year's Exhibition and Show is shaping up to be one of the best yet.
Mark it on your calendar:
Friday - Sunday 23rd, 24th, 25th September.
Panthers Auditorium Port Macquarie NSW.

You will love it Wheelin.

Co-incidentally, the Australian Photographic Society will be holding their big national conference (APSCON) in Port Macquarie at the same time.
They have booked the Glasshouse, and will spend the week involved in various photographic endeavours.
They will have an exhibition almost certainly - this from the top photographers in Australia.
Here are the APSCON details:

Another reason to come up/down to Port Macquarie for our Woodworkers Guild Show at Panthers Auditorium.
The sunsets over the last week have been stunning as well.
Just like this one:

No worries Wheelin, there is plenty of accommodation in Port Macquarie as well as nearby in Wauchope, Lake Cathie, Telegraph Point, Bonnie Hills, Laurieton, North Haven etc. All of these places are around 10 minutes from Port.

Quick update on the forthcoming September Exhibition.
We are getting all our annual rainfall out of the way (we hope) so that Springtime in the Hastings lives up to its usual spectacular best.
Here are a couple of photos of some of the lads getting things ready at our Clubrooms at Timbertown in Wauchope.
Hope you have all bookmarked the 23rd - 25th September.
Should be a great show.

Well it's only five weeks until the show and things are moving along nicely.
Today's clubroom meeting saw some more work on items for the show, and of course there were the regular show and tell as well as a talk on the history of handplanes.
We finished with bacon and egg rolls from super chefs Rod and Geoff.

If you haven't put down the 23rd, 24th and 25th September in your diaries then do it now.
We would love to see all fellow woodies up here in Port Macquarie for the show.
There will be two tables of old tools for sale - one with great antique lines and the other with the first buy swap and sell items from clubmembers themselves. Lots of trash and treasure there for sure.

A new addition since last update will be a stall for all those modelmakers - featuring kits and the numerous parts that hobby specialist stores used to carry.

Here are some more pix of the boys in action today.
