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 third Sunday in the month at Water Orton Primary School, Vicarage Lane, Water Orton. There is a branch membership fee of £10 per annum and a charge is made to cover the costs of the meeting.
At alternate meetings we have a visiting speaker or demonstrator, the other meetings are 'Hands On' days where there are up to six lathes in operation. 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.
