The Lyonville Woodchop will be held at the Lyonville Hall on Saturday, February 3 from 10.30am.

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

This year’s event promises a new experience as pine wood will be used due to the difficulty of securing suitable local eucalypt wood.

All the usual attractions will be available – a bar, barbeque, barista coffee, cakes and light lunch stall, plus a 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 hub. Entry is $5, children admitted free.
