Sergeant Rick had some difficulty making his voice heard and getting some of his arbitrary fines to stick! Charlotte won the heads and tails and $3 on the scratchy!
Sherry W eloquently introduced our own John Whan to give his life story as "A Humble Woodworker". John outlined his varied work experience through office boy, apprentice cabinetmaker, wood carver, milk vendor, "professional" snooker player, carpenter, shipwright, builder, joinery contractor, furniture restorer to furniture and joinery maker. John started work in 1947 and began his apprenticeship shortly thereafter. He changed jobs regularly adding to his skills base before going into partnership as a builder.
He next set up his own workshop in Newmarket where his biggest job was to install the pews at St Peter's Lutheran College. These have survived the wear and tear of future generations including Chris B's daughters! In 1978 he acquired a Mercedes Tourer and set off for the UK and Ireland and worked in furniture restoration, carving and gilding.
In 1980 he moved to Maleny where he built a house and workshop. He sold his business in 2004 and now has a small workshop under his house, where he can sometimes hide. John presented this enjoyable talk with considerable humour.
Keith gave the vote of thanks.
