Cooroora Woodworkers’ Club Proud Heritage
The Cooroora Woodworkers Club is holding its annual Wood & Craft show in the Cooroy Memorial Hall in the main street of Cooroy on Friday & Saturday 10 & 11 May 2013.
The Cooroora Woodworkers Club was founded by a group of like-minded woodworkers who held their first meeting in the Sea-Scouts facility in Noosaville on 14 December 1988. The fifteen founding members soon swelled to 46 in April 1990 when the meetings and demonstrations moved to the Noosa High School.
The first wood & craft show (it was then called the “festival”) was held in October 1990 and for a period two “festivals” were held each year and the annual inter club competition had its beginning.
In 1997 the Club settled into a renovated old cottage in the grounds of the old Cooroy butter factory. When the Cooroy Library was built, the club officially moved into its current premises during 2009, with Councillor Ray Kelly doing the honours.
The Club now has over 100 members and still continues to be community-oriented, assisting where appropriate to contribute to the timber heritage of the area.
This year the Club has its 25th birthday – please come to the Club Wood and Craft show to join us in this celebration.
