Welcome to West Northants Woodturners
 
This West Northants Woodturners website is updated regularly after our meetings, so please do come back and see what’s new.
Better still, come along to one of our meetings (entry is £5.00 per visit), meet the members and join in our activities in Weedon Village Hall.
There is more info about the club on the “About” page, including how to join.
 
West Northants Woodturners meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month.
Meetings start at 7.00pm with the demonstrator starting at 7.15pm. The evening will usually close at 9.30pm to allow for clean up.
 
We are able to accept cash or card payments for the door entry and also for purchases from the small club shop.

Next Club Meeting – Wednesday 15th January 2025.

This will be a demo by club member by Viv Harvey – always interesting and often a little quirky. 

Next Competition – Wednesday 5th February 2024.

As there is NO MEETING ON 1st JANUARY, the next competition will be in the first meeting in February. Members are, of course, welcome to bring along their work for display at any time.

The club have links with the WORKBRIDGE CENTRE on Bedford Road in Northampton.

They provide a variety of useful products and services (tuition) for woodturners and are always on the lookout for turned items to sell in their charity shop. If you think they can help you or you can help them, please see Non Club Events for more details.

SOCIAL MEDIA

We have a Whatsapp group for club members only. Any members interested in joining this group should contact any member of the committee to be added to the group, or simply use the email link at the bottom of this page.

We have a Facebook page which may be of interest. Please use the link at the bottom of this page. 

As a club we try to encourage turners to improve their skills and also to be more involved with the events that the club organises. We are looking for members to step forward to do a demonstration one evening. This may sound daunting but could prove to be very rewarding and build your skills and confidence. If you would like to give this a try please contact Mick Denton and he will give you a run down of what to do. We would encourage you to give it a go.

Axminster Ltd discount. For more information see our Club Notices page.

 
For Sale: Keep your eye on the for sale page as there is always the possibility of a bargain.
