Report of the Meeting 28th May 2026
Tonight’s meeting was an opportunity to consider the new Health and Safety handbook and to consider safe working, both in our workshop and in our home workshops. Nick and Keith took us through pre use checks for lathes, and then looked at tackling fires, and risk assessments.
A serious topic for tonight, with a hands on “spot the danger” exercise.
Likely cancellation for Board Meeting
As the proposed meeting was for June 18th and another is scheduled in July and there are no pressing agenda items, this meeting now seems unnecessary.

Report on Meeting 30th April 2026
On a beautiful summers evening in early spring(!), members cam to show some of their work, offer guidance and ask for advice on this ” Show and Tell ” evening.
Advice was offered as to tools that could be adapted and used for particular things such as remounting, and carving close concentric rings. In the sprit of lessons learned with Stewart Furini, Alec showed us another colour/texture medium set. Here are a small number of photographs of some of the things we had a look at.
