Clubs in Melbourne?

[GC]

Hi All,

A while ago I read in the local paper about a woodturning club / association in Hoppers Crossing. I can't find any info about it now.

Doe anyone here know of it, if not a club close by that I could join and get some help and feedback from more experienced turners?

thanks in advance - GC

I go to the altona wood workers club, just wondering if anyone here does too?

[Sir Stinkalot]

joseph84 ..... I am at Lara so I we will be seeing one another shortly at your club ...... now should I reveal myself or hide behind the mystery of the forum?

[GC]

So does the Altona club have a woodturners branch/division?

Or is it just woodwork of many types?

[Sir Stinkalot]

I think that you will find that most clubs have a turner or two who you could speak with. There are also plenty of interclub meetings arranged that expose you to other woodworkers and turners around the area.

How about .....

We set projects once a month as a show and tell and often get one of our members to demonstrate. Plenty of advice if it is asked for and nothing competitive.

We think it is a very casual and friendly atmosphere catering for around 25 members. Last night was our Xmas break-up but if you would like to know more please PM for more info.

Here is the first couple of months projects we have set. We try to cater for all tastes and abilities.
