Guyra Show 2025 - Woodchop

Lachlan Brazier competing in the 275mm novice event

04th Mar 2025

What a success our local show was, and was well supported by our community in all sections.
This year our woodchop received nominations from as far as Kilcoy and Canungra in Queensland to Murrurundi in the south, as well as our local contingent, with newcomer, Lachlan Brazier. This was Lachlan’s first competition.
We supported the National Breast Cancer Foundation this year. A big thank you to Carmichael & Co for sponsoring the singlets worn by the competitors on the day.
We received record nominations in the ladies, indicative of how the sport is becoming increasingly popular in the women’s events.
Our ladies were represented by Jo Geiger from Canungra (this was her first competition), Deb Clissold from Tamworth, Holly Geiger from Canungra, Elly Shipman from Glenreagh and Ann Shipman from Guyra. The ladies also competed in our novice and open 275mm underhand handicap.
Our boys event also received record nominations, showing the dedication of these young men to their sport travelling from Canungra, Moleton and Nundle to compete. We were also able to run an open ‘championship’ event this year, which involves the highest marked eight axemen nominated on the day. In this event each axeman starts off 3, rather than their ‘mark’. Guyra has, so far, in the NCAA area been the only show to have such a quality of axemen for this event.
Our wood this year was Silvertop messmate, which is a hardwood, for our open events, and poplar, which is softwood, for our ladies, vets and boys events.
Lastly, a big thank you to all of our sponsors. We could not run this event without their continuing and generous support. Please support them.
