It’s been 20 years since the first meeting of the Triton Owners’ Club of the ACT – 20 years of fun, inspiration, friendship, learning and woodwork!

Click on the original invitation and agenda for the very first meeting above,
and below is a photo of our beautiful 10th anniversary cake

Our 20th anniversary celebrations were held at the Bungendore Wood Works, where we were greeted by our amazing host David who took us on an initial tour of the Gallery

This was followed by great food and great discussion at the Café Wood Works

And then a demonstration by our resident expert David of finishing techniques

And a tour of the upstairs gallery – what an amazing king post!

And back to the Café for celebratory cake

The cake was so delicious we ate it before anyone remembered to take a picture of it! It was a beautiful Triton workbench complete with wood shavings – oh well, maybe we’ll remember next time

We had such a great time!

Thank you so much to David and all his staff – and a special thank you to the lovely people in the Café who looked after us so well
