ASTWOOD BANK CARNIVAL
Firstly, I would like to thank all of the club members who took time to come along and support the club at Astwood Bank Carnival. It was great to see so many people turn up and lend a hand or have a go on the lathes. I would especially like to thank Mike Crockett, Trevor Cocks, Roger Borwell, Paul Phillips, Jeff Griffin, Dave Gillett, Tim Walton, John Wardle, and Carl and Matthew Barrett who came along to help set up our stand on Saturday morning. Without your help and assistance we could not have made things happen and you set everything up for an excellent day.
It was especially pleasing to see club members Angela and Jake come along and get involved. Ange’s turning journey is just starting out whilst Jake is our youngest member at 11 and has been turning for 3 years. Both showed no fear picking up a chisel and having a go on the stand!
DATES FOR YOUR DIARIES
On the subject of shows, we are pleased to confirm that we will be attending the following shows later this year:
STUDLEY PLOUGHING FESTIVAL – Sunday 15th September
BELBROUGHTON SCARECROW FESTIVAL – Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd September
BONDED WAREHOUSE OPEN WEEKEND – STOURBRIDGE Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th October
I will be covering the three events in detail in future emails, and of course at the monthly meetings but if you can help by coming along to support the club can you let either Mike Crockett or myself know and we will pencil you in.
Happy turning,
Richard Pinches
Hon Secretary
It was a fantastic weekend at Astwood! Great to work so closely with the team and some new members for the day
