    Default Day out at 's

    Once again, a great day was had by all at 's workshop
    with at least 50 interested people in attendance.

    Demos by Neil Ellis (Ubeaut) went over well, Ken Wraight did
    a couple of demos with the audience marvelling at his ability
    to create the seemingly impossible, and , in his
    usual style was there to support them both.

    Fair dinkum, Ken and deserve to book a guest spot
    at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Both are very talented in
    their own right but have fun at each other's expense in
    presenting their sessions. It was worth the trip down just for that.

    Vic Wood (with wood) was doing a brisk trade and most would
    have gone home with some new blanks to work on.

    's better half was fussing over us all ensuring we had
    adequate cups of tea and coffee, bread, paper plates etc.

    Great to see so many faces from Gippsland, Werribee and
    other places willing to attend.

    Well done everyone!

    Allan

    It was good to catch up with old friends and see some new faces as well.

    The best bit is there were no coffee granules in the sugar.

    There were a couple of cameras being used
    ... hopefully someone got some pics. My apologies
    for not taking a couple as I had left my camera home.

    I suspect that after... what? 5 years of the same event? ...that even the oldest dog's have finally learned a new trick.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
