We have a lot of trades people coming too that are selling their wooden wares and all the equipment that goes towards it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the show the Guild is holding a raffle with a grand prize of a grandfather clock on offer. Second prize is a spinning wheel and third gets a 448-piece serving platter.<\/p>\n<p>Guild member David Ludbrook made the 50-piece grandfather clock from black wood. It\u2019s movement and face alone costs $1200.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get an enjoyment of knowing the guild\u2019s going to benefit out of it,\u201d Mr Ludbrook said of his countless hours of work.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even at its own fundraising event, the Ballarat Woodworkers Guild can\u2019t stop giving. This year, in addition to their own effort, they organisation is supporting Parkinson\u2019s disease research.<\/p>\n<p>Guild members have handcrafted a range of items to sell with money going back to the cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year we did it for motor neurone disease, our previous secretary had developed MND,\u201d Mr Izard said. \u201cWe thought it would be worthwhile adding to the community by brining MND back to forefront, and we\u2019ve done the same this year with a different cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ballarat Woodworkers Guild\u2019s Wood and Craft Show goes this weekend, Saturday, 21 and Sunday, 22 September at the Wendouree Sports and Events Centre on Norman Street.
