Please note the revised start and finish times for the Club's July meeting (on the 15th). This is to allow those who wish to watch the World Cup Final to see the day's demo and still get home for the kick off.
The Meeting will start at 10.30am and finish at 3.30pm. There will be a shortened lunch break of 30 minutes and no formal afternoon tea break. The club raffle will take place as usual, but drawn at the end of the lunch break.

Regrettably, George Foweraker has had to cancel his planned September visit to us, for family reasons. We wish George well and hope that he will be able to return to Carno at some point in the future. In the meantime, please keep checking back to see who we have managed to get at quite short notice to replace him.
There will be an Extraordinary General Meeting immediately before the May Club meeting to propose a minor addition to the Club's Constitution to incorporate the General Data Protection Regulations which come into force this month. Your Committee hope that this will only take up about 10 minutes or so before the demonstration. Please make sure you arrive in good time, as we will be making a prompt start on the small, but important, change to our club "rules".
Mike Butterfield and Matthew Mosse will have a large quantity of burr oak for sale at the May meeting. Ranging from pen blanks to whole burrs there will be something for everyone and a large number of offcuts will be available at very low prices. Mike and Matthew will also be taking orders for bespoke pieces of burr oak which will be being cut from the rest of the tree using a portable saw mill. Planks from 1" thick to 4" thick can be ordered, as can larger pieces for faceplate turning. Don't miss this opportunity to get hold of some freshly cut Welsh burr oak - the patterning in the majority of the pieces is quite exceptional.
