Our meeting on Thursday 18th July 2024 was another of our Showtime meetings, this one’s presenter was Nick Simpson. These meetings are for the most part very successful and although the turnout was a little disappointing it turned out to be a very enjoyable meeting.

Our meeting on Wednesday 3rd July 2024 was organized by Barry Cumming, Barry wanted to use this meeting to experiment with square or odd shaped bowls as he had not done any of these since he started woodturning. He then organized for 4 more turners to man all our lathes to demonstrate the methods used to make square or odd shaped bowls.

Date and start time, Wednesday 3rd July 2024, 6.45pm, please note the change of date for our meeting, this is due to the Westminster Elections happening on the 4th July.

This meeting has been organized by Barry Cumming and Barry’s theme for the evening is making square bowls, these can be made in a variety of ways some of which you will see at the meeting. Barry has not ventured into making these types of bowls so far with his woodturning and I’m going to partly mentor him for his first square bowl with an audience. He has also arranged for 3 more turners to be involved with making a square bowl, 2 of which I know to be approached from completely different angles.

Our meeting on Thursday 20th June 2024 was organized by John Ruickbie, John had all 5 lathes working on items that were destined to be donated to the club’s open day on the 10th August to be sold as part of our fund raiser programme for the purchase of a Defibrillator for our club house.

Start time 6-45pm.

Our next club meeting is on Thursday 20th June 2024, It’s being organized by John Ruickbie, John has arranged for all 5 lathes to be working, he will be on one lathe with 4 more turners manning the remaining lathes.
