Chapter 72's April 2007 meeting in Sydney was a varied event with members showing their restoration work on clocks plus some interesting talks on a wide range of topics.  Presenters were very enthusiastic about their areas of interest.  These mini presentations are a new feature and more would be welcomed in the future.  If you would like to participate, contact a committee member.
