BOB and Lois McMaster held the fort for the Nagambie Historical Society on Maundy Thursday, manning the famous Easter raffle card table at Nagambie IGA.

Married 54 years, the couple enjoyed an afternoon of selling tickets to raise funds to help with the restoration of the town's old powerhouse.

"And we've got a land tax bill," Bob said.

With 80 members and over 800 Facebook followers, the society is going strong and boasts a range of exhibits at their headquarters, including a 100-plus-year-old rowing scull.

"It's a clinker hull," Bob said, referring to the plank-style structure more akin to ships, compared to the sleek one-piece boats of modern times.

"As far as we can work out, it is the only clinker hull scull in Australia, if not the whole world."

The society is open from 9:30am to 12:30pm on:

Every Wednesday

First Saturday of the month

2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sunday.

"It's well worth a visit," Lois said.
