The Branch is made up of members from a wide range of occupations and professions, with a range of expertise, from the non-turner to the professional turner. All have a common bond – the love of Wood in general and of woodturning in particular.
Our regular meetings are held every four to six weeks during school terms on a Sunday afternoon between 2pm and 5pm at Water Orton Primary School, Vicarage Lane, Water Orton. There is no branch membership fee although a charge is made to cover the costs of the meeting.
At many of our meetings we have a visiting speaker or demonstrator. We also at times have full day demonstrations. Invitations are also received from other local branches to join with their activities.
The aim of the branch is to create in its meetings an atmosphere of friendly informality and promote the art and craftsmanship of the woodturner.
If you are not a member of the National Association an invitation is extended to you to attend TWO branch meetings before you make that decision, after which you must be a fully paid up National member to attend further meetings.
