Norfolk - Norfolk Woodturners Society

Norfolk Woodturners welcomes new members, from beginners to experienced at their meetings, which are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Meetings are held at the Beetley Village Hall, Beetley, Nr Dereham.

The Society was formed in August 1988 when six woodturners decided that Norfolk needed a club for like minded people and as the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain had recently been formed is was suggested that they be contacted with a view of starting a local branch. To start the ball rolling it was decided to hold a weekend of woodturning to encourage others to join. Since then the membership has increased to the present 80+.

The Society is run by an elected committee whose aim is to promote, encourage and provide help and instruction to members. With this in mind the club meets on the 3rd Thursday of the Month and this takes in the form of demonstrations, hands on evenings, competitions and critique evenings.

Demonstrations at the evening meetings are usually done by members and also turners from other clubs. Professional turners are also asked to come along and show their skills.

During the evening meetings members bring along recent samples of their work for comment. At meetings we have various items for sale, such as turning tools, wood, sanding materials, fittings etc.
