The WOSP Toy Handover is on the 8th December this year so that it does not clash with the motor bike enthusiast toy handover which takes place on the first Saturday in December.
Once again the club toy makers led by John Parrent have done a wonderful job this year to ensure there are sufficient toys for “Food for All”, “Rosebud Salvation Army” & “Westernport Charities” to distribute to children at Christmas.
The club is extremely grateful to Dulux for its donation of paint to assist with the finishing of a range of toys being made this year.
Each year WOSP makes over a thousand toys available for distribution to charities on the Peninsula for distribution to children at Christmas.
As paint is on of the most expensive commodities in making these toys the club is very appreciative for Dulux’s donation.
Each week Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula have a lot of waste timber and is making it available free to anyone.
It is being placed in a container on the concrete apron in front of the club at 109 Boneo Road, Rosebud South, 3939.
The Open Day presenters were tireless in answering questions and demonstrating their skills.
One of the highlights of the Open Day was the presentation of a $500 donation by Brian Leslie and Lorraine Watt, president & treasurer of the Peninsula Old Time Ceilidh Dance Group. When Lorraine & Brian heard WOSP has to move to new premises to make way for the new pool they decided to run a function to raise money to help with moving costs. In thanking Brian & Lorraine, John Bayliss, WOSP President, added “I am proud of the club and all its members as they do a fantastic job in contributing to the values of the community”.
