Thursday 1st Nov –Sunday 4th November
In October 2019, the AWGB contacted a number of Midlands based woodturning clubs seeking a little assistance.
The AWGB Committee required help in manning the AWGB stand at the Creative Craft Show, National Exhibition Centre NEC, hall 20 between Thursday 1st and Sunday 4th November 2019.
The call went out to our Blackcountry members, which was met with a great response, 5 members agreed to help out during the event, Bob Mercer Thursday 1st, Ian Brown & Roger Cheshire Friday 2nd, Bill Hubbard Saturday 3rd & Kim Harris Sunday 4th.
Without exception everyone enjoyed their day, and agreed it was well worth their days’ time.
We all met and chatted to some very interesting people from all over the country and further afield, many interested in taking woodturning up as a hobby, and were pointed in the direction of their local home clubs, several were pointed in our direction and we may get lucky with a few new members in the future.
We hope the AWGB come to the show next year as we will volunteer again, below are some pictures from the event.
