The woodworking enthusiasts, who typically gather for a monthly toy-making working bee, faced challenges during the pandemic. However, with resilience and determination, they have overcome obstacles, and now, they’re bubbling with excitement to resume their cherished tradition.

This act of generosity not only demonstrates the craftsmanship of the GV Woodworkers but also the spirit of community and resilience that defines Shepparton.
