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.

 A close up of the egg box before it was completed.

 Below is one of the members spade shafts he turned from ash

 sorry for this but i seem to have the photo the wrong way round lovely vase in a stand.

 2 Christmas turnings ready for the tree

 Bowls and boxes below give a touch of Gabo Lacko and Patricia Spiro.

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.

September meeting

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!

 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!
