Turning Mondays

A reminder to anyone interested, I will be opening the workshop from 10am to 4pm tomorrow (Monday 2nd November) and every Monday until the end of February.

The cost is £3 for the day. 

Don’t feel that you have to stay all day, you can come and go as you please.

Be aware that neither the shop nor the band saw will be available as I don’t have keys for those.

Demonstrator’s Training Day- Saturday 20th June

Reminder:

May I remind all Galloway Woodturners members that I will be holding an all day training session for any woodturner who wants to improve their skills and gain greater confidence in demonstrating to club members or the public.

The session starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm (bring your own lunch) 

Participation by donation.

If you have ever demonstrated, would like to demonstrate or are a tutor and want to be a more effective tutor by demonstrating more effectively to your pupils then this is for you. There are still three places left, so please just come along and join us.
