As the first course of the year filled up so quickly I feel we can justify having another course before the summer.

Beginning on Thursday 14th May until 18th June course 2/2020 will be much the same as the first one, just not so dark, cold and wintery outside.

Same entry criteria apply, £35 annual membership if you are not already a member, and £100 for the course. 4 course members would be good, but I can take 6 depending on age, experience etc.

Roger Cutler also does beginners courses for individuals at his home workshop, in Creetown, if you prefer one to one tuition, and especially suitable/ practical for folks from the west.

If you are interested, or know of someone who would like to try woodturning then send me, or Roger, a message.

This course is now full, thank you everyone who signed up. Roger Cutler can do one-to one courses at his Creetown home workshop so if you didn’t secure a place on this course contact Roger and see what he can do for you.

The next course will be just before the summer holidays. See post regarding 2/2020.

I picked up some willow from the farm just behind the Industrial Estate this afternoon, and dropped it off at the club next to/ on top of the other ‘raw’ wood. If you have never turned fresh willow, and want to have a go, then see someone from the wood prep team (Hugh, Jimmy etc) and let us know how you get on. If you want to turn it seasoned, then put you name on a bit and either season it yourself, or let the prep team do it for you, and let us know how you got on in two or three years time. Jimmy will work out a price for you.

I hope you have all had a great Christmas, and wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I aim to open the workshop for the first time on Tuesday 7th January 7pm to 9pm.

Come along with your Christmas presents and left over shortbread/ mince pies.

The next beginners woodturning course will be starting Thursday 27th February 7pm to 9pm, and for six Thursday evenings until 2nd April. This is open to existing and new members. The cost of the course remains £100. 

Thanks to everyone who has signed up, the course is now full and the next course will be just before the summer holidays, so sorry if you missed out on this one. The start date for the next Beginners Course will be posted as soon as I can.

The workshop will NOT be open next Wednesday 11th December but WILL be open 1.00 to 3.00 Wednesday 18th December.

It will then be open in the New Year from 1.00 to 3.00 on Wednesdays starting on 8th January.
