Hi All

The September meeting was a club night and was well attended we had the lathe going and Trev Blackburn was giving tips Steve Wright the woodman was doing well the club had arranged for Steve to bring some ash blocks for the competition the blocks were being sold for £1.80 each and about 30 were sold I have 11 so if anyone wants to enter the competition then come and see me for a block.

The competition is in November and you can make anything out of the block so I will have to remember to take the camera.
we also have a Bus trip to Harrogate Wood working show on Sunday 25th November 2012 the seats on the bus are £12 and the entry to the show is extra.
we have a 53 seat bus and at the moment have 34 people booked on it.

the 2013 programme is coming along OK at the moment and Bill the club secretary has been working hard to get the turners. thanks Bill for the hard work.
The club will have 2013 programme issued in December if we have all the spaces booked and comfirmed.

Just a Quick one this time thanks for looking.

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!

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.
