A NEW steam and vintage machinery club will join the other independent clubs within the Timbertown Theme Park at Wauchope.
Timbertown’s management hosted a successful meet-and-greet event on Friday to help local community clubs with membership and to form new clubs and interest groups.
The independent clubs that operate within the Timbertown Heritage Theme Park include the Wauchope Heritage Gallery Association and Wood Workers Guild.
“The open day has allowed the clubs to gain new membership, and several progressive steps were made towards creating new clubs and interest groups, that will operate within the park precinct,” a spokesperson for Timbertown said.
“In all there was an initial interest of 18 persons seeking to start a Timbertown steam and vintage machinery club, so that will now move ahead.
“Given the much needed rain, we had a good turnout from interested persons wanting to be involved in one of the many clubs and societies in the park, which is very encouraging.
“The art and craft gallery had four new members join. There are also plans to expand the miniature steam railway, together with talk of a miniature village.”
One of the clubs, the wood workers, recently completed a magnificent water wheel made out of local black butt timber, which has proved a real hit with visitors to Timbertown.
The spokesperson said there would be another meet-and-greet event at Timbertown later in the year.
If anyone is interested in joining any of the groups, please phone Timbertown reception on 6586 1940.
