Popular annual calendar fixture, the Lyonville Woodchop takes place Saturday February 1 from 10.30am at the Lyonville Hall.

Once again, this time-honoured competitive event will provide a showcase for the prowess of local and visiting axe-wielders and the hammer–hefting ladies at the nail drive competition.

Organisers say all the usual attractions will be available at the woodchop: “a bar, BBQ, barista coffee, cakes and light lunch stall, plus raffle and spinning wheel with lots of great prizes to be won”.

Proceeds go towards the maintenance and improvement of the Lyonville Hall, the local community’s hub.
