Annual Club Show
Our club show will be on Sunday 19th October 2025 at Leasingham Village Hall. This is a great day out and very successful in promoting our club. We will be asking members for help on stalls etc., nearer the day, so please keep this date free.
There will be a professional turner, who will be demonstrating all day.
We will also require turned items to put on display, please keep some items in stock for the club stall, in fact why not make some items for the competition on club night and then hold them back for the show. These can be put up for sale or just for display.
