Professional Demonstrations  –  The next professional Demonstration is on Saturday the 25^th of this month

This is an all-day demonstration by David Lowe RPT from Snainton woodturning. Amongst other things he will be demonstrating his signature piece “A Vase with a Zip in it” – Get tour tickets TONIGHT on sale at the shop. Please note bring your own sandwiches.

Andrew “The Hat Man” Hall will be with us on Saturday, 27^th May for an all day demonstration followed on the 28^th by a Master class.  There are 5 spaces on the Master Class (2 of which are already taken) If you would like to come to the master class please see me asap.

David Simpson is now looking at professional demonstrators for 2018, if there is anyone you would particularly like to see please let him know.

 Membership –  Some “members” have been somewhat slow in renewing their membership fees. Please note that if the membership fee is not paid by the December meeting then membership will be deemed as lapsed. This means that the person will not be allowed to use any club machinery at any time as they and the club will not be insured.

Funding Meeting – The decision has been taken by the committee to go ahead and begin erecting a ceiling over the club area. Costings have been done and we can just afford to do this, however this will leave us somewhat exposed should any unforeseen expenses arise. Because of this it was thought expedient to do some fund-raising.  It has been decided to call a fund-raising meeting of all members at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 21^st of this month. Please come along with as many ideas as possible – after all the ceiling is intended to keep YOU warm.
