The handover of toys to the charity organizations will be done on the 30th of November this year. Huge congratulations to all members of the WOSP Toy Makers group. The toy makers get together every Wednesday to contribute their time and skill toward making an enormous number of toys to give away to needy children on the Mornington Peninsula.
Come along on Wednesday and join the fun and support our Mornington Peninsula charities!

John Andrews is a guitar teacher and a new member. He has the plans to make the guitar and the necessary jigs that will be required. At this stage he is planning to start on the 3rd May, the afternoon sessions, and is happy to guide others through the process of making the guitar. Depending on a member’s abilities it is anticipated it will take 10 weeks to make the guitar. Once everyone has their guitar he is happy to provide a couple of free lessons. John says “it is easier to play than a ukulele”.
Would you like to attend these fun sessions? Please let John know!! He can be contacted at 0418 366 840 or by email at johnxenophon@gmail.com
Sharpening the woodturning tools is a special skill that takes a lot of practice to master. Several of our woodturning gouges have been seriously damaged by incorrect sharpening. The Session Leaders on the day will be happy to sharpen the tools for you when needed. Please do not attempt to sharpen them on your own.
An additional BBQ has been allocated to WoSP for Easter Sunday (17 April) and your assistance would be appreciated. A Volunteer sheet is on the notice board at the club. Please enter your name in the time slot that suits you.
Ill health has caused Greg Millar to resign from the committee after being a contributor for almost 10 years. You may recall in September 2021 the Woodpecker presented a profile on Greg.
