Report on our meeting 11-05-2023 organized by David Hobson.

Our meeting on the 11th May 2023 was organized by David Hobson he had arranged for Australian woodturner Jim Cameron to give the members a presentation on woodturning in Australia and also to do a slide show of some of his work along with some other work by Australian woodturners. Jim’s presentation was to last about an hour but such was the interest from our members that Jim’s presentation lasted for more than the time allocated which was fine with everyone. He gave a very comprehensive report on how woodturning got going in Western Australia and the amount of interest that it now receives, culminating in there now being 12 individual clubs with a membership in total of some 550 members, in the area of Western Australia.
