Committee

President & Treasurer

Ann Giles20161206_200638
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 one meeting since that first day.
Following the sad passing of Ann’s husband and our President Charles, the club asked Ann to take on the role. She is delighted to be the club President and thankfully agreed to remain treasurer.

ColinColin began turning in 2014 when he retired and spent his retirement gift on a lathe. During his working life Colin worked on board ships where he was involved with underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) which had multiple cameras and full digital video recording facilities.
