AGM Meeting Agenda

Workshop Reopening!

Join the Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula

As always, the health and safety of our members is the committee’s biggest priority. Therefore we are reopening in accordance with the Victorian government’s operating restrictions. Please familiarize yourself with these guidelines (below) to see what we’re doing to keep us all safe.

  • The workshop is allowed to open to fully vaccinated persons only
  • Members need to sign in via the Govt app and show their vaccination status which will be recorded so that it only needs to be shown once.
  • The workshop size easily manages the density capacity  of 1 person per 4 square meters for a large number of attendees
  • People must continue to wear masks inside

Christmas Luncheon

Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula

The committee is planning to have a Christmas lunch on Wednesday 15th December in the Blue Water Room at the Rye Hotel at 12 noon.

A 2 course senior’s meal will be $25. A cash bar will be available.

 Once the workshop opens an attendance register will be placed on the Notice Board.

VALE Dennis Capper

It is with much sadness that I am advising everyone of the passing of Dennis Capper last Monday.

Until sickness slowed him down, Dennis was a very active member of our club. He was an extremely talented singer & would often sing at a variety of functions on the Mornington Peninsula.

His passing has not been long after his wife Veronica died.

The club wishes to pass on its sympathies to his son Adam who is also an active member of our club.

The Australian Woodworkers Magazine

Our club is featured under “Club Drumbeat” in the October edition of the Australian Woodworker. It is available on the shelves of Newsagents now.

Hope you enjoy reading about our club in a well recognised magazine. Many thanks to Barry Irwan for the photos.

Mobile Chair rack

Mobile Chair Rack

The chairs used for meetings have been stored under the stairs and are always sliding away from their allocated area. The solution has been simple to someone with a bit of imagination and the ability to weld. Enter Greg Knox. What a great job Greg has done. Generally we think of club members as woodworkers & not having metalworking skills. However Greg designed what was needed, obtained the appropriate metal then cut & welded the chair rack.

Well done Greg & thanks!
