Woodies With Goodies ......................

.............otherwise known as the Hastings Woodworkers Guild Annual Exhibition.
Yep - it's on again.  A triptych of tumultuous, timbered transactions in October - our three day Show.
The lead-up to this event is months in the planning, and involves lots of community events in the weeks and days beforehand.


Apart from the advertising and the publicity, there are, of course the exhibits.  Generally, these are the cumulation of a year's work since the last exhibition - but often there are special pieces made just for the show.

My humble contributions this year are two exhibition pieces - the finished Amish Jelly Cabinet ............................


........................... and my tenor ukulele.


In the sales section, I will have some washroom cosmetics and towel rails ..........


............ and some planter stands - tall and short.


I wish my son was home so we could exhibit his just finished verandah bench. On ya lad!


There will be the old tools stall - which includes show, swap and sell from among the members of the Club, as well as antiques and collectables.  My old mate Ross, of Sunday Market fame, will be there - with bewildering bygones to bargain, barter or buy.


The show is looked forward to by all, and has in the past attracted around two thousand visitors to view our endeavours.  Maybe this year we can break that number.
Hope so .....................
