Committee – Lincolnshire Association of Woodturners

President & Treasurer

Ann Giles
When, in 2004, the club needed an experienced treasurer, Ann stepped up to the mark. Having never turned, she has became our greatest asset, keeping our finances under control. Ann has still not turned and has only missed a few meeting since that day.
Following the sad passing of Ann’s husband and our President Charles, the club asked Ann to also take on that role. She is proud to be the club President and thankfully agreed to remain treasurer.
