President’s Report Halfway through the year already and things are humming.
The highlight of the month had to be the demo by Pat Johnson. We took the punt on paying for a
demonstrator for the first time in my tenure at the club, and although I was a little disappointed in the
numbers attending, the venture was highly successful (and we managed to cover costs). Many thanks to
Pat for an enjoyable, entertaining and educational demo which has inspired me to have him back and
also to seek the services of other professionals. For those who missed it, Bruce is working on a DVD
which will be available from the club when completed.
Don’t forget, however, we have some very good, free demos yet to come this year. Chris Pouncy in July,
Rob McGregor in August, Rod Tunkin in September and John Rodgers in November. All will be well
worth seeing.
In the shed, Ian is managing to keep things running. A further reminder to treat our machinery with the
care that you would treat your own if you had to pay for repairs and maintenance. We have had very
little down-time since Ian took over this responsibility but we are keeping him too busy.
The quantity of items on the show and tell table has been a little disappointing of late, though it’s good
to see a number of “new” turners prepared to display their early work and benefit from the input of
members. Let’s make that table a “sight to behold” every week. This is what makes our club tick so
loudly and we all have a responsibility to make a contribution for the benefit of the club and for our own
benefit.
Mt Gravatt Show is around the corner, so be prepared with plenty of items to sell as well as giving a few
hours to help man the stall or demonstrate your craft. (July 27, 28 with set-up on the Friday.)
Tool sale coming up in August as well, so get your gear sorted. The club takes 10% of the sale price and
you must put a reserve on anything that you feel warrants it. However there are more bargains on our
auction day than the Boxing Day sale at Myers.
Thanks to John Ford and Graham Weir, we now have air supply throughout the workshops making
cleaning up more efficient. Please be aware that too much compressed air creates a lot of dust but used
well this system can keep our facility cleaner.
A reminder from our First Aid Officer to make sure we are diligent in the washing of hands. 86% of flu
bacteria is spread through tactile means and we all use the same machines and door handles etc.
I mentioned a project last Wednesday that I thought we may be a part of in “PENS FOR THE TROOPS”. I
am pleased to report that Adrian (the co-ordinator for this project) already has 20 pens promised. If you
want to be a part of this, contact Adrian Wilkinson. The info is included in the newsletter. Thanks to
those who have already committed.
We were well represented at Q Turn again this year and those who availed themselves of the
opportunity, were well satisfied with the outcomes of the event. The Woodworking Fraternity is a very
close and friendly one, within which there are few secrets and events such as this give an opportunity to
experience this camaraderie. Thanks to Ipswich Woodcafters for conducting the event.
As usual, I have been long-winded but my enthusiasm for this club and what the membership
contributes seems to fuel my loquacious nature.
Have a great month - Steve.

Articles of Interest
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS GROUP
Dave P. has volunteered his time and skills to resurrect the musical instruments group. Expecting a small
number to show interest Dave was surprised when approximately 30 members expressed their interest.
The first project planned is a ukulele, so with this number of instruments made the club will have its
own orchestra.
BUNNINGS SAUSAGE SIZZLE
The club held another successful sausage sizzle, on
Sunday 16th June, at Manly West. Many thanks go to
the volunteers who worked in three hour shifts and
especially to the new comers who attended to
extend their culinary skills.
Having an extra person available for each shift
enabled someone to have a rest and refresh as the
need arose. Hope to see more newcomers at the
next one on 29th September 2019.
The picture shows only a few of the volunteers on
the day.
PENS FOR THE TROOPS - AUSTRALIA
The club has been approached to see if members are interested in turning pens for distribution to
Australian Service Personnel. Any turners who would like to contribute their time and skills to this
worthy cause should contact Adrian, at the club, and register their interest. For those who would like to
contribute but are not wood-turners you are able to purchase pen kits from the club and these will then
be used by the turners.
Further Information sent to the club about this initiative is below.
Origins – The Pens for The Troops Initiative was instigated in Australia by Bruce Sanders and Amos de Pasquale somewhere around 2008 and has seen around 10,000 pens distributed to Australian Troops, Veterans, Peace Keepers and Foreign Service Personal. ANZAC Day 2019 – This was the first time I have been involved with PENS for the Troops, but I decided to give it a push through the Australian Pen Turners Facebook page, we managed to have 258 pens donated, these pens were split up and distributed to Soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq.
6
Who makes the pens – pens are being made by amateur wood turners Australia wide, from our smallest towns to the largest cities, individuals are donating their time, experience and personal funds to create custom pens as a symbol of support to our service men and women stationed overseas. What are the Goals – The intention is to send 2 lots of pens each year, one for ANZAC Day and the other for Rememberance Day. There are currently 4,500 Aussie Troops stationed in countries around the world and would like to see each and every one of them with a handmade pen. This is an end goal and currently we are trying to raise 500 pens to be distributed on Rememberance Day 2019.

A Love Story
I will seek and find you . . . I shall take you to bed and have my way with you . I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan. I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop. I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you. And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days. All my love,
The Flu
A little known fact... The first testicular guard (box) was used in cricket in 1874 and . . . . the first helmet was used in 1974. It took 100 years for cricketers to realize that the brain is also important.
Don’t Make Assumptions
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand.
I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Daisy, I'll be waiting....

Interesting Local History Information of the district around the club
This is for the benefit of interstate and overseas readers of our newsletter. Moreton Bay (accessed from - http://www.wynnummanly.com.au/index.php/about-wynnum-manly/local-history/moreton-bay-settlement) The discovery of the Moreton bay area first began in 1770 as Captain James Cook sailed up the east coast of Australia on his voyage of discovery.

Flinders sailed north from Sydney, entering Moreton bay in 1799. Both Finders and Cook failed to discover the Brisbane River. Twenty years after Flinders abandoned his search three men Pamphlett, Parson and Finnegan were blown off course while looking for timber in the Illiwarra District south of Sydney. The woodcutters from New South Wales became the first to view the Brisbane River as they explored the new region, eventually settling at Bribie Island with the local Indigenes. It was not until Lieutenant John Oxley sailed into the Bay in 1823 and found Pamphlett and Finnegan still living on Bribie Island with the natives that the region had a chance of becoming a settlement. The two men showed the river to Oxley and after exploring its length it was named Brisbane, after Governor Thomas Brisbane of New South Wales. 1842 Free settlers were allowed into Moreton bay 1859 Wynnum (as we now know it), was originally named Oyster Point 1889 The train line from Brisbane, passed through Wynnum and Manly to Cleveland and provided a significant incentive for settlement in the area. 1960 First land sales took place. The principal crop grown by the early settlers was sugar cane. Extensive cane fields stretched from Hemmant through Wynnum and Manly and into the Redlands area. A number of sugar mills were established throughout the area. 1909 pioneer sailing clubs was the Wynnum and Manly Sailing Squad were the pioneering sailing clubs and later becoming the Darling Point Sailing Squadron. 1925 Motor Bus Service to the City of Brisbane. 1926 Saw the Black and White Bus service commence from Lota.
Wynnum and Manly’s History ( accessed from - http://www.wynnummanly.info/index.php?catid=0&id=15 & https://www.wynnumbayside.com.au/wynnum-history/)
Wynnum and Manly are two very old suburbs on the shores of Moreton Bay, just south of the Brisbane River. Both suburbs have a strong history and a strong community. The surrounding suburbs are also seen as part of Wynnum Manly.
It is believed that 3 cedar cutters, who were blown off course on a voyage from Sydney in 1823, were the first white people to visit the Wynnum Manly area. The area was very popular with a number of aboriginal tribes that regularly visited or lived in the area for hundreds of years before the Europeans visited the area. The Wynnum area was occupied by the Winnam people. Elanora Park was an aboriginal campsite. 1902 the Wynnum Shire Council was created and in 1913 it became the Town of Wynnum, before being amalgamated into Greater Brisbane in 1925.
The Waterloo Bay Hotel was built by George Gibb and opened in 1889.

The Wynnum Wading pool was a depression era project and opened in 1933. The parkland was reclaimed from the sea, a revetment wall was built and backfilled, with an area left empty to create the tidal pool. Wynnum Central State School was opened in 1894 with an enrolment of eighty. Wynnum Manly has managed to maintain its rich history as one of the oldest areas of Brisbane. The bayside suburbs offer an abundance of heritage buildings, places and landmarks that tell a story from indigenous occupation to European settlement, the threat of invasion and the development of a seaside community. This history can be experienced through the Wynnum Manly Heritage trail which leads you on a memorable journey over two exciting centuries.
