Visit our Lathe Workshop run on Saturday mornings between 9.00a.m and 12 noon.
Saturday mornings are very relaxed and informal in our Lathe Workshop facilities. Our resident wood turners, Roy Boulton and Phil Fountaine, are usually available to volunteer their advice to all beginners who can have hands-on guidance if required whilst seasoned turners enjoy an exchange of tips and techniques over a friendly chat and a cuppa! There is no charge for this service and you do not have to be a Member of our Woodturning Club. We also hold Demonstration Days when a professional turner visits us. It’s worth noting that the morning session can be fairly cramped whilst the afternoon is generally more comfortable.
Membership of our Woodturning Club entitles you to free admission to all our Demonstration Days and to 10% discount on most purchases of wood blanks, turning tools, craft goods, lathe accessories and books and videos. We can also offer the Woodturning magazine to Members at the reduced price of £2.95 per copy and reserve it for you too!
Membership runs from January to December 31st each year and is currently £32.50 for single or £46.00 for joint membership with your spouse.
Don’t forget you don’t need to be a Member to attend our Lathe Workshop on Saturdays and you can always pay £4 on the door on Demo Days if you prefer. The choice is yours!
However, if you are interested in joining, please ask for a Membership form. If you have any questions you would like to ask, please come along and will be happy to help you.
