The North Canterbury Woodcraft Club has had a very busy and successful month. A group of Scouts came for a ‘Have a Go’ session one Monday night and had a highly productive two hours under the guidance of experienced members.
As can be seen by the smiles on their faces, they really enjoyed themselves and we look forward to having the second lot of participants from this group early in November.
The group could make one of four items — a garden dibbler, a tablet stand, a ball in cup coordination game or a twig pot. If your group would like to have an introductory session, please contac us.
We also had a stand at the recent Older Persons Expo in the RSA. This was an event to showcase activities and services available in North Canterbury to the recently retired. We had a lot of interest in our stand where a range of turned items were on display. Many took brochures or left contact details so we look forward to potential members coming to visit the club in the near future.
On a recent club night, we had three new people giving wood turning a go and they all left highly satisfied with what they produced. We are also working on a great promotional video that showcases members and what wood turning means to them. Detail on where to view this in the next issue. We will also have an active display at the Rangiora A & P Show so come and look us up. Don’t hesitate to contact the club if you or your club / organisation would like to ‘have a go’ at turning.
