Our club is held in the Hall at Sacred Heart R. C. Church, Cecil Road, Oldway, Paignton. (Opposite Paignton Fire Station) We have a small Axminster M600 for demonstations of the production of small items and a larger Woodfast lathe which is capable of turning very large items e.g. bowls, platters, hollow forms etc.
The lathes are used by club members to demonstrate their turning when a professional turner is not available. Turning is demonstrated on most club nights and can show how to do simple spindle work or more advanced turnings like hollow forms and inlaying. Members are encouraged to demonstrate some form of turning but this is not compulsory as not all members are happy to turn in front of a crowd. We also have a growing library for our members to borrow. During the evening we have a tea break and a raffle as well as the "challenge" judging. Any member can enter the monthly "challenge" with the subject of the turning given the previous month: recognition is awarded to the winning piece.
