Community and charity work


Right from the start, it was envisaged that the Eurobodalla Woodies would have a lively role in community and charity work.That lofty aim was realised from the start, and continues today.




A playground with a difference!  

Several Woodies took on a project to provide play equipment for the Mogo playground.A small reserve in between the businesses on the Highway that runs through the retail section of Mogo Village.
The logs came from the remains of the Runnyford Bridge which needed replacing.

 

 



Finished and ready to go!

The MDHS had a phone box sadly in need of restoration.It had seen better days and was in bad shape.The Woodies were asked if they could do anything. Unfortunately the job became a rebuild not a restoration as much of the box had modern 'repairs'. Some parts of the box were usable, such as the metal roof however most of the main carcass had to be replaced.
Eric Simes was in charge of the project and was ably assisted by Ann Salmon and Ken McIntyre.Eric's planning skills and attention to detail has resulted in a 1950's replica phone box that will see many years to come.

  

  

Leaning up against the bench to the right of the box you can see the discarded useless pieces of the box that were unusable

Handover day



The Woodies construction team handed over the refurbished box to David Montgomery and Huon Hassall of  the Moruya Historical Society.

        

The box was carefully carried and packed into the trailer ready for it's return journey to the Museum.

All that's left is to find a suitable handle for the door and install a telephone as close to the originals as possible.
