Club Night Meetings and Special Events

The following links give you an idea of what some of us have been turning and also what the Club's been up to lately.
Occasionally, one of the Club Members will be cajoled into writing a review of the evening to recall what happened!  If you were there - it's a reminder - if you weren't, then just see what you missed!

The Club attempts to attend various Craft Fairs and other similar events. Click on the links to see where we've been and what it was like!
