About our organisation...

North Wiltshire Woodturners Association is a newly evolving club serving woodturners in and around the North Wilts area. We, of course, welcome all those with an interest who wish to join us from further afield. Our aim is to provide a club, which meets monthly, where we can share our common interest in woodturning, learn from each other, promote the craft and generally socialise with like-minded people.

On 1st November 2006 a group of around 15 of us met together in the Crown Hotel, Wootton Bassett in order to explore the possibilities of moving on from chatting about woodturning over a pint in the lounge to operating as a club on a more formal footing. By the next meeting we had secured a lathe, a hall (Hook Village Hall) and things seem to be moving forward nicely. Maybe we could  even, eventually, invite some professional turners to give us some demonstrations and the benefit of their wisdom and experience.

However, these are early days and we have a long way to go yet but we warmly invite all those who are interested to come along to our next club night and help us build what could be a really rewarding, educational, entertaining and fun organisation. And don't forget, this is a club for all skill levels. You don't have to own a lathe and you don't need previous experience of woodturning.  Just come as you are.
