The Club  exists to promote the art and skills of Woodturning. It is the

                                                           premier Woodturning Club in Northampton with  some                                                    

                                                  90 members, and provides a friendly gathering of experienced and

novice Woodturners. There are several lady members.

 

 Meetings are held regularly on the first and third Wednesday of every

month from 7.00 pm to 9.30 pm in Weedon Village Hall,

which has a large car park.

 

There is a modest annual membership fee, supplemented by a charge

 for attendance at meetings, and an optional raffle. There is no charge

for initial attendance.

 

 

           The usual meeting format is for a guest turner, or one of our        

      experienced members, to demonstrate their skills in a variety of ways.

Some meetings are arranged for practical experience known as

' Hands On ' where members are able to take part, using one of the

club's eight lathes.

 

 

         Periodically we hold an all day Saturday event

           from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm, and for these we usually

             invite professionals to demonstrate their own specialality.

         The charge for these meetings includes a buffet lunch.

 

 

          We also run a shop which carries a varied stock of woodworking

accessories. Wood from local sources is available from time to time.

 

There is also a a library with books and DVD's for the use of members at

a nominal charge.

 

 

The Club is fully insured.
