We have received an email from the local Chamber of Commerce re the above. From Sunday 19th June for a period of 8 days the bridge will be reduced to 1 lane allowing essential repairs to take place. Strong possibility of delays and advising if possible to avoid using the bridge at peak times.

As in previous years the club will be supporting Cross Roads Caring for Carers Marymas Fair by manning a table in one of the craft tents. The fair is being held at the Northern Meeting Park, Inverness, on Saturday 18th June from 1100 to 1700hrs. The proceeds from the sale of turned work will be given to the charity to help in their valuable work.

Note for you diary: Programme for April, May and June 2011 has been announced. The club for a trial period has set aside a number of Saturdays for training sessions, principally for complete beginners and those just starting woodtuning but who maybe lack confidence . Hopefully these sessions will be of benefit to participants.
