Waratah Chopping Carnival
I love & support our club too much to turn my back on it, so here we are finding our-selves travelling to the WARATAH CHOPPING CARNIVAL. Only 1hr. drive from home.
Weather not very kind on & off showers & cool throughout the day.
Congratulations to the ladies of the club that are there at the drop of a hat to help their better-halves enjoy what they do best, tinker with their old toys & wares.
Chopping was top class & the young lads are showing the Senior choppers that it is not a dying art, Marvellous.
