Shire Woodworking Club – January 2018 Newsletter posted below.
Geoff Tong was a deserving winner of the SWC Excellence Award; he makes some great items, mostly turnings. Other category winners were also deserving; one of these years I need to enter something!
Numbers of entries have reduced since plank competition entries were excluded.
Great turnout for the Christmas lunch, and a great feed. I am in the photo at the back in the left row.
Sorry to hear about the death of Bill Lewis; he was very active and visible from when I joined until the last few years. Unfortunately I was unable to attend his funeral as I was away.
Great to see Graham winning a Cook Community Award, but not a good photo!
The club spent quite a bit of cash ($5,500) buying two Sawstop tables saws. This is good from a safety point of view especially due to the recent injury to Bob but a shame that the Triton saw has to go as it is one of the last items from when we were the Triton Owners Club – Oyster Bay.
Also good to see that the club is so busy during the week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays that it is now open on Thursdays.
