Get Involved.
The club is run by the members for the members, so we are always looking for volunteers to help with the meetings. I appreciate that some members my be uncomfortable with doing a demonstration, but there are other ways you can help.
How about doing a "Me and my Workshop"
It is always interesting seeing other members turning and their workshop. All you need to to is take a few photographs of your workshop, bring along a few pieces of your turning and let the members know about you. How you got into turning, what you like to make and what you would like to make.
Or a "How I make it"
If you are making a piece that you think would be of interest to the members, please take step by step photographs and let us all know how you made it.
​Our programmer, Alan Ewing, has a very small pool of members he can call on to do a demonstration, but you can still help.
You can get involved without needing to stand behind a lathe and turning something. A ten minute talk about you, your work work or workshop will make all the difference at our meetings.
Please contact Alan if you can help in any way.
