The Club was founded in October 1997 when a group of like-minded wood turners got together for the first time.  Many members have been active wood turners for a lot longer.  

The Club meets at Padworth Village Hall on the second Tuesday of each month for demonstrations and Members' evenings.  In addition, Workshops are held at the same venue on the fourth Saturday of each month. 

The Club has the following aims:

• To promote and nurture the art of woodturning in all its aspects 
• To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and techniques 
• To organise regular meetings, discussions, lectures, workshops, and demonstrations 
• To organise regular competitions and exhibitions of members' work 

The Club is administered by a committee, which meets every month and sets the monthly competition, decides on the demonstrators for the following year, arranges the logistics of the various events, takes care of domestic matters, authorises purchases and administers the Club's funds.

We are a friendly bunch, so come along to a club meeting or meet us at one of our many exhibitions throughout the summer.
