Thursdays and Sundays are for experienced members and self guided work and learning support will not always be available.
The Shop, Mineral Hill and the Boulder Cutting Room are open by prior appointment with info@lcnsw.org only.
Please sign in and pay the $7 workshop fee when you enter the club to use any of the facilities (this includes and is not limited to using equipment, fossicking, picking up equipment or accessing knowledge from the library or other club members’ brains). This fee is what keeps our club going.
Non-members (this includes friends & family of existing members) are welcome to attend on a Saturday morning (between 10am and 12pm) to have a tour of the rooms and facilities.
Club Guidelines
The club runs on volunteers and we depend on our members to look after the upkeep of the club facilities. If you have any special skills that could come in handy to help with this, please let the committee know
Please clean up after yourselves at the end of your work session. We encourage members to drop in to our regular working bee session (details in the newsletter).
A mask requirement in the cutting and polishing room applies to everyone and predates more recent mask mandates, as it is to protect our members from silicosis.
The material from Mineral Hill is for club members to practice with, it has been donated by other club members for this purpose. Any material can be purchased for $5 a piece but should not be tampered with before purchasing
If you require storage of your material on the club’s premises, please get in touch with us at info@lcnsw.org
