OUR PICTURES

 WOW! what a great Craft Fair we had on the 7th March, from 11.30 we had a steady flow of folk through the door and it was a good day for all.  The Next Fair is 11th April and you can check it out on the craft fair page.  Tomorrow (Tuesday 9th march) we are expecting a delivery of Kiln Dried wood, its a mixture of hardwoods and will total around 10 cuft so the guys are going to be busy with that.  We may also have a little milling job on the horizon.  Tam and the lads dropped off some ash the other day so things are looking bright.

Donations to Charity

Recently Wheelchair Woodturners donated £500 to Marie Curie

The picture shows Amanda Dove at the hospice in Glasgow accepting the cheque on behalf of the Hospice.  If anyone would like to see the official receipt please don't hesitate to ask.  Ike Curran also handed a £150 cheque to Murray Webster of Webster Engineering who is a fund raiser for the north Lanarkshire Cancer Care Trust, this organisation has a fleet of volunteers who drive cancer patients to and from their appointments at Wishaw General.

 

Just returned from the 7th Feb Botanic gardens Glasgow Craft Fair.  We were amazed at the footfall, the place stayed pretty much full most of the day, all the crafters reported a good day and WW had a better than average day, I am certainly going to have to get my head down over the coming weeks.  The high turnout might be put down to the 4ft by 12ft signs we had made! Things are certainly looking good for the project, Ike and Paul were in Glasgow this week, ahead of the Arnold Clark event in the SECC in April.  We may get a mention on the Arnold Clark advert that's coming soon, fingers crossed for that, mind it will probably end up on the cutting room floor!!   

We recently took delivery of some stunning wood (spalted Beech)from the North Lanarkshire council, which had been laying in View Park for some years.  Many Thanks to Jim, Tam, John T, John R ,Adam, Amon and Ricky.
