October Meeting
October 2012 The turner was Rodger Foden, Rodger has been to the club before But Sadly his wife died six months ago and this was his first demonstration since so it was a bit long and sad for him .
50 Members turned out to see Rodger turn an Egg jewellery Box which be donated to the raffle for someone to polish and finish off .
For those that don't know Rodger he has only got 1 hand and puts the rest of us to shame with the items he turns.
The November meeting is Competition night so we are looking forward to that but before we are going to the wood working show at Harrogate on Sunday 25th November 2012 we have seats left on the bus and this year the bus will lose money.but hey ho it is for members it may be the last trip we organise.

The club will have 2013 programme issued in December if we have all the spaces booked and comfirmed.

August meeting Gabor Lacko & Patricia Spero
The August meeting we had guest turners Gabor Lacko & Patricia Spero visit the club.
We had 56 members and visitors and both turners gave a talk and slide show with examples of their turning and artisitic work.
Everyone enjoyed the night and the turners were given a long, loud applause of appreciation.
I remembered to take my camara this time and this picture tells a thousand words!

Bowl with beads
Brilliant work this is all peirced work
Bowl with branch wood
What can you say? This brilliant work puts my ash bowls to shame. You have to be an artist for this sort of work.
Members that I have seen since the meeting have given lovely compliments and everyone enjoyed the night!

April meeting Clem Ansell
Hi Sorry for the delay in posting this blog I forgot to take my camera with me so I have no photos to post but will see if any one has any to up date you later.
Well Clem Ansell was a good night he did some off centre turning and Explained the pit falls and things to look out for when setting up off centre turning.I have just had a thought I have a turning that he started just to show use how to start a candle holder i may be able to take some photos that and post later.
I must remember to take my camera as they say a picture tells a thousand words or is it stories.
Clem was on his first visit to the club and I think he went down well and got his point over.
I will try and get some photos of the night must go now.

March meeting Club night
March club night was just a natter night with members catching up with other members work.
Steve Wright the wood man was doing a good trade and John walker and myself were selling clock parts and bits and bobs that the club had purchased from the widow of a wood turner.
The money made goes to the club to help keep the membership fees down.
The April meeting has a turner Clem Ansell, Clem has not been to the club before so I hope he goes down well.
See you there
