.... in Horsham, since 2010!
Yep, it's on again... You Turn Horsham. And why wouldn't it be, especially after last year's block buster. Actually I should call it a back buster but that's another story.
When: Saturday April 30 - Monday May 2.
All welcome no matter what your woodturning ability. Non turning partners (we call them Turnips) made welcome too, with some activities planned for them.
What: Its a weekend of woodturning. Bring your lathe (some spares available for those with precious, virtually un-transportable Stubbies and others) We share ideas and stories and a bit of bull dung. Some also carve and others burn. But one thing seems to be common to all and that is that we all have a very worthwhile and enjoyable time.
The food is great as is most of the company, but you will have to put up with ! Actually (in all seriousness) he is wonderful to have along because he is generous beyond the call with his advice to anyone seeking some expert input.
Jim and Irene (Carrolls Woodcraft Supplies) are also regulars (you can't keep them away) offering their excellent customer service and advice. And that big hairy woodturner (Shane Wolf) drags his big hairy lathe up as well (see, if he can transport a Stubby there ain't no excuse for others getting their Vicmars or Woodfasts to Horsham)
We haven't been able to convince Ken Wraight to turn up (he blames this on the fact it's near the time of his birthday) so if we can get some public pressure happening and perhaps organise a cake (I'll even buy the 68 candles needed!) we might be able to tempt him.
Accommodation is not on-site but we can help. Some look after themselves and others bring up their caravans and stay on-site. I book a few cabins for the rest at the local caravan park. This seems to work well.
For more info contact me at: [email protected] or ring 03 5384 6324
Don't leave it too late. We have a maximum number of 80 and that's the number we had last year.
Hope to see you in Horsham.
