Old News – 2021

December 2021

  • Rudy’s video link is now available on the members only page.
  • Andrew Turner has passed on the latest version of his ‘Woodturning Magazine’ index, available from the member’s pages.  It is a searchable list of over 5000 articles published in 360 issues of Woodturning – there must be something in there you’d like to make !
  • Rudy’s demo went ahead on 15th December and the handout sheet is now available to members.  The video link hasn’t arrived yet, I’ll post a further update when it does.
  • Due to technical problems with Rudy’s set up we’ve had to re-schedule the December demo to Wednesday 15th December at 19:30.  The full details of the Zoom meeting are available from the members only page.
  • Sadly, Phil Hartwell, the club’s treasurer and long standing member has died.  Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
  • Brian Wharton has stepped up to replace Phil as Treasurer and can be contacted at treasurer@gaw.org.uk 
  • Dave Woolley has joined the committee and will be taking over from Brian as the membership secretary.  Once up to speed he will be available at membership@gaw.org.uk
  • This month we welcome Rudy Lopez as our demonstrator, all the way from Florida (via Zoom, we can’t afford the air fare!)  Zoom details are in the newsletter and on the members only page.  Rudy will be demonstrating ‘Square to Round Bowls, Vases and Hollow forms‘.  You might remember Rudy from last December when he also demonstrated for us.
  • Monthly newsletters are now available on the web site (members only).
  • January’s meeting will be a Show and Tell evening hosted at the club and on Zoom.

October 2021

  • The second training day of the year was held on Thursday September 9th at Down Hatherley Village hall. We were very lucky with the weather and the training was carried out outside. 5 delegates attended and it was very successful.  

Next course will now be in 2022. If you are interested please contact John Hawkeswell or complete the contact form. Note this is open to members only due to insurance restrictions. These courses are intended for beginners.
