The club was formed by a few like minded people who wanted to advance the work of the woodturner and possibly bring new people into the craft, their meeting place at that time was Charlstown Academy, Mark was also part of the group that was there when they moved to Munlochy in 2010 after securing the rent of the premises we are currently in.
