As I write this the Melbourne Wood Show is September 8th - 9th - 10th which as for as I know only a few of our members have shown an interest in going, a reflection on it’s waning popularity ?.

COMING EVENTS

Hi All Just a short note to introduce myself I live 30 mins away from Shepparton near the town of Invergordon. I am a computer programmer by day, but in the past have been a Telephone Technician, Office Worker and Soft ware Tester. I have a young family that I started a little bit late with my wife Helen, 2 beautiful cheeky daughters, Jessica (7) and Emily (5). I have always enjoyed well made wooden objects, wood appeals to me as something beautiful to begin with, adding skill and craftsman ship to create something unique is something I aspire too. Having a Tech School education , I’ve always worked with wood. I’ve done a reasonable amount of DIY renovation in the past but not much fine woodworking. After visiting our wood show last year, and after getting hooked on watching “The Woodwrights Shop” with Roy Underhill, decided to join the club early this year. Having the resources of the workshop and expertise of the members is a wonderful way to start a new hobby. Some of you have seen me around the club, but I have yet to meet all of our members and am still learning names and faces. Come and say hello if you need anything! Cheers Rob Osborne Secretary Goulburn Valley Woodworkers.
