2026 AGM – MATHOURA NSW Auction – Call for donation of items In just a few short months, we will be holding our AGM in Mathoura, situated by the meandering course of the Murray River in southern NSW. We will be enjoying the company of friends, learning about the rich history of the forests and timber industry along the river, and exploring the extensive stands of River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) that thrive in this area. As part of the week’s activities, once again we will be holding an auction of anything and everything associated with wood. Auctions in recent years have been a lot of fun for everyone present as well as a successful fundraising event for our society, and we look forward to another morning of exciting entertainment as an eclectic collection of items goes under the hammer. Please consider what you might have available to donate for the auction and advise at your earliest convenience. Go through your cupboards, drawers and wardrobes. Look in the old storage boxes, tea chests, trunks and crates that we all have somewhere in the garage or shed. Rummage in your wood stash and scour your bookshelves. As well as timber, wood and standard samples, we are interested in books, tools, memorabilia, artifacts, instruments, wood Įnishes and prepared microscope slides. If it was once of interest to you, chances are someone else will want to bid for it. When you have your items ready, please let us know so we can collate everything into a consolidated list prior to the conference. The preferred format for receipt of your information is an excel spreadsheet, a sample of which is shown below. However, please don’t let that be a restriction! If excel is not your thing, a list that is typed or written neatly by hand will do. Please just make sure it contains the information required (see below). Your list can be sent by email (please make the subject line “IWCS Auction 26”) to Peter Ball (#10457) at the following email address: [email protected] or mail it to: Peter Ball PO Box 159 Berwick VIC 3806
