This site is managed on a voluntary basis. If you find any problems in using the site please contact us (e-mail preferred). If you do not get a reply or if the problem is not
remedied within a few days it is probably because I am away interstate fossicking, at the A.F.G. seminar or bush walking etc. I will attend to any problems as soon as I can.
THE CLUB WORKSHOP IS OPENING EACH
SATURDAY FROM 12 NOON TILL 4 P.M. UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE. This is to allow extra time for
those club members who have to travel further to
attend the club.
