Field Trips have been with the club since inception, the first one being to Cape Hillsborough near Mackay, which is now a National Park. These days we have organised field trips from April, after the wet and heat. Lapidary, Silversmithing and Faceting:-
These sessions are offered on a regular weekly basis and many members enjoy these sessions held at the clubrooms. Other workshops held throughout the year have been: Bone Carving, Lost Wax Casting, Gem tree making, basic gemology, wire wrapping,working with opal and creative workshops. The club would like to hear from any persons experienced in these fields or other related fields to run workshops to improve our level of membersโ expertise. Annual Gem Show:-
Our annual Gem Show event is held on the third weekend in July, Saturday 9am to 4pm, and Sunday, 9am to 2 pm at the club premises. The weekend show hosts a large display of gems and minerals with
lapidary demonstrations, tailgaters and dealers. Come and visit or be a part of the annual show and at the same time enjoy our magnificent Townsville winter weather.
