To maintain your Blue Dot Woodworking Accreditation you will need to, you will need to undertake a Verification of Competency (VOC) Assessment as follows. Woodworking members aged under 75 years will be assessed every 24 months Woodworking members aged 75 to 84 years will be assessed every 18 months Woodworking members older than 85 years  will be assessed every 12 months You will be assigned a simple task which shouldn’t take more than about 30 minutes. This is not a test of your craftsmanship; it is simply a demonstration that you can competently use the machinery unsupervised without endangering yourself or others.  You can book your VOC Assessment by clicking on your preferred VOC Assessment date below. The Rostered Supervisor for the day will oversee your assessment and he will either deem you "competent" or refer you to a Trainer for further assessment or training. If you choose not to do the VOC Assessment,  you will no longer be able to use the Machine Room equipment unsupervised.

Join everyone in our lovely garden area (or in our airconditioned conference room if it is too hot) for fresh baked scones, jam and cream with friendly companionship.

Our next meeting is on March 5th at the normal time.  The event will be run by a tag team comprising Graham Owens and Neil McKinnon.  Graeme tells me its a hard theme to describe but he suggested "Why was that wine poor, ordinary, average, good or excellent?"   Sounds like we will need to have our wits about us - hints in the picture above.  As you know Graeme has a long history in the wine industry and he is keen to impart some of his knowledge and experience.  There will be some delicious nibbles as well, designed to complement the wine (that's where Neil comes in). It sure to be an enjoyable event.  As usual the cost is $25/head and places limited to 20 so be quick.        

This site is only for those wine group members who have NOT been able to obtain a ticket for the March 5th event to place there names on a waiting list. You will be informed by 1200 on the day should a place become available for you.  

All members are welcome to join our team leaders, Bruno and Richard, every Tuesday and Wednesday morning for the bicycle group's regular bicycle repair events.  No experience is necessary but a good sense of humour is encouraged to fully appreciate the friendly banter and fellowship during these events.  No tickets are required, just come along.

All Members who intend to be part of the Woodworking Group will need to complete this Power Tools Induction Training. There is a once off Cost of $10 for this Training Course, which can be paid when you purchase a ticket.
