J.V.R Waistcoats and associated accessories

A wonderful day was had on Saturday Steampunk at Altitude in Nimmitable.

Good morning. I was up early for the beach sunrise in Hervey Bay.

Getting in early.
Happy new year everyone! I wish you happiness and good health for 2024.

Just heard the as news… Vale Cal Wilson. You were funny and brought colour to the world.

This photo shows the corner of Woodriff and High Streets as it looked around 1920. On the right-hand side of the photo is what would become the location for Memory Park.

Have you always wanted to volunteer for us but can't get on-site?

We may have just the thing for you! Currently, we have openings for a:
💰Financial Controller
💻Document Manager

You don't have to be interested in driving or working on a steam train and no work boots or high vis are necessary!

But if you have a passion and skills for good financial control or document management and are keen to give up some of you time for us, send us a message we'll send you the PD and application details.

(If this isn't you - but you know someone who fits the bill - tag them below!)

Please remember - like most of the positions on our railway, these are volunteer roles. Like the Janitor at NASA your contribution will also help put man on the moon (or in our case, a steam train back on the tracks!)

I’ve been busy. New capelets , velvet with buckle closures.

Another new waistcoat , I’ve added a half collar.

I’ve been busy. Hand made by me in Aussie.

Our market stall yesterday Glenbrook Rotary Markets. If you missed us we will be back in February.
We did well, waistcoats were sold and an order taken as well as my new notebook covers and more.
Diane O'Neill also did well. Her new globe scenes, baubles and journals were a hit.
We missed you Pog Papers - who’d a thought a trip to visit family in a whole different country would be more important than the markets. 😂🌲🎄

...But what if I were to go to GAMMA.CON 2022?
Tickets sales and attendance 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦

GAMMA.CON 2022 ran at the National Convention Centre Canberra on July 23-24th 2022 and overall was a success. The committee had just come out of COVID lockdowns and multiple cancelled events after two years, so motivation was lacking and circumstances had changed for almost every team member.

Ticket sales with were just over 3500 online, 480 box office, so 3980 tickets sold in total, with a ticket attendance of 4880 and an overall attendance of 5600 including staff, volunteers, vendors and performers, but could have easily had way more as the was a HUGE success, we completely sold out with just 500 tickets sold and people had to be turned away at the door, but we can look at expanding this content in 2023.

Special thanks to our partner will be sent out soon in a future post. 😁

Don’t miss out. Great Christmas ideas will be found at the Glenbrook Rotary Markets this Saturday 17th December. 8am to 1pm.
Come see me and Diane O'Neill and Pog Lewis. We are The Ladies Who Craft and our stall is 125 this weekend.

I found this gem in Pinterest. 🤣🤣
