What a Day! 6am the sky was Black the air was chilly and after the Morning Thunderstorm it was not looking good. Then as the Sun rose, the clouds dispersed, the Blue Sky appeared and we were off to a good start.

 
With the assistance of Les Simmons, Tony Stoker, Paul Toohey, Rob Keating & Doug Slatter who generously brought along his trailer loaded up, we set up at 6.30am.

It was good to see so many Members supporting us on the Day, Morrie Phillips and Max Marshall also lent a hand.

We will be attending again on Saturday 12th October 2013.

The exhibition area is open to the public from Friday lunch time which is a great way for exhibitors and sponsors to promote their businessesk. There will also be a free showing of the film 'Rites of Passage' in the Auditoium.

Many networking functions have been included in the registration price this year including special appearances from Troy Cassar-Daley, Peter FitzSimons and some interesting developments surrounding the AMHF Awards Gala Dinner yet to be announced.

TOFS on The Great North Walk

 

Thursday, 1^st August – Great North walk (part)   (Trip 119)

 

     TOFS begin the first part of Australia’s famous Great North Walk by ferry from Circular Quay to

     Woolwich wharf, then (cheat a bit) by a bus up to Hunters Hill, then a short walk to Boronia

     Park where we drop down to the Lane Cove River.  The walk meanders through Buffalo

     Reserve & wanders to & fro never far from the banks of the river, sometimes leading us high

     above it & then dropping down to the waterside.  There will be plenty of rest stops & we should

     take about 2 hours to reach the end – North Ryde RSL  for lunch.

     Difficulty – some rough patches – a reasonable level of fitness will make it well worthwhile.

Trivia Night at Shelley Beach

Little Helper Tower

A Mums request for us to make a stand that would allow her young child to reach the bench saw the men put their heads together and come up with an adjustable tower/box into which a child could climb with safety. Here the youngster has moved from the kitchen (where mum was hoping she would help) and into the workshop to help dad. It helps to warm a Shedders heart.
