This was the 18th annual Far South Coast Woodies exhibition also known as the South Coast Regional Exhibition of Woodwork (SCREW).
There were a record 37 entries in the SCREW woodworking competition.
A fine but cold Saturday morning greeted the members and with an official start time scheduled for 10am a brisk trade was already in progress at 9.30am, and the attendance on this first day was beyond expectations.
State Member Andrew Constance had to cancel his agreement to open the show due to pressing work-related commitments and Eurobodalla Shire councillor Danielle Brice graciously agreed to open the show instead.
