I agree with TracyB's comment on the hours for most clubs as well; it is one of the factors that has stopped me joining one over the years.Cheers,

[quote=TracyB]I appreciate all of the input folks. I will be looking into the woodworking club in Ipswitch as that seems the closest with the most varied woodworking. I am a little surprised at some of the hours the various clubs are open though. It appears if you work a 8:00-5:00 job then the open times may be very limited. Perhaps set up more for people who have already retired, etc..I guess we will see how it goes.
Thank you again for your welcome.
No worries TracyB son of Montana, if u ever wanna take a sunday drive, please drop up this way, lots of trees.....Ravensbourne..drop me a PM for details...
and yes the Club thing seems a bit oriented towards the retired....
The Toomowoomba club has meetings on wednesday nights and saturdays...but its still 100k round trip...
I like th eidea of an 'informal club' whereby someone provides and space and the general discussion and shared of wood related info and acticitities is a priority....

just a thaught.
cheers
We had this sort of thing in mind originally as an adjunct to our business. I have already asked my insurer how it would affect premiums and will let everyone know how it progresses. There was a fair amount of interest expressed.

yes...if the space is available and people are willing u really dont need to be too organised....just gather and discuss and let it grow depending on input....if it grows well maybe u might wanna 'officilise' it.
I think a lcub based on what people want to do that supports that, would be good, with both prefessional and hobby practitioners...an open club thats flexibale to memebers needs.
keep us posted
thanks

Places like "wood and you" have been arround for quite some time and seem to be well patronised.
Intergrating a "club structure" into an operation like that would be clever business.
Such a club would probably be best operated similar to a commercial golf club where members pay membership & green fees.
The focus is then on the game and the provision of services rather than the politics and social argy bargy found in many clubs.

Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

From those I've met and the trafic on this board, I've concluded that most people on this board have their asses in the air working at something usefull & interesting. Its prety difficult to look down your nose from that position.
