Grahamstown Woodworkers

November 2017


The November meeting focussed on raising funds for Hospice and was again held at the home of Billy and Vivian de Klerk.

Carl-Heinz Queisser represented Hospice and spoke briefly about the work being done.

Andrew's Auction and Patty Zipp's Lucky Draw were the main events of the evening.
Andrew Stevens did another terrific job as auctioneer, supported by Peter Breetzke.

In addition to the "bargains" won at the Auction, many members went away with generous prizes collected by Patty from local firms.

John Keulder, as usual, took many superb photos of the events and some of these are shown below.

The amount raised for Hospice was R8 310.

A big THANK YOU for all the donations.
