Keeping ahead of the game
Richard Hoodless kept a keen eye on discussions at the AGM and reports on how the club is progressing. He follows up with the evening’s demonstration by Alex Bellringer.
About 40 members attended the AGM on 21st January. The chairman thanked the committee and mentioned that the secretary had promoted the club in Oklahoma which led to the CWA being twinned with the Central Oklahoma Woodturners Association. He thanked John Fenn for keeping a tight rein on the finances.
In the treasurer’s report, John pointed out that, although the income for 2014 was down in all categories, the club still had a healthy reserve of funds.
Jeff Cordery and David Buskell resigned from the committee and two new people, Derek Dowle and Chris Taylor, had been nominated to serve and the new committee was voted in en bloc.
A discussion followed on various topics and, after the tea break, Alex Bellringer gave a short demonstration (similar to that in December) on how to make a pen from short pieces of coloured pencils glued together.
