New wosp Clubhouse

Members, partners & Cr. Celi viewing the workshop for the first time

On the 13th July WoSP members celebrated relocating to a new workshop at the Vern Wright Reserve, Capel Sound. For 22 years the WoSP workshop was at Besgrove St., West Rosebud. Once the Council decided on the location of the swimming pool, it was inevitable WoSP would require a new home.

Long term members thought the new workshop incredible. They discussed how hard it was to establish themselves in the Council allocated gardener’s shed in 1995. “We did not have a 5 year plan” they explained, “nevertheless we are proud of what has grown from our humble beginnings”.

Wosp new workshop status

Before the construction of the Rosebud Swimming Pool can commence the Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula (WoSP) workshop needs to be moved from outside the council offices to its new premises at the Vern Wright Reserve in Capel Sound.

Currently the slab to the workshop has been poured, the storm water has been added & the pest controller has treated the slab for termite prevention.

It is anticipated the WoSP will relocate to the new workshop by the end of May. Refer to wosp.com.au
