Branches |
|
The aim of branches is to build on the woodturner's skills and provide a local forum for the interchange of ideas and the development of the abilities of woodturners at all levels.
There are numerous branches around the country and you are welcome to join any one you wish. When you become a member of the Association you will be informed of the branches that exist throughout the country. You will also be advised of when and where they meet and the address of the branch secretary.
Branches are the focal point for the majority of members. They hold regular meetings with a program of activities which typically includes demonstrations from professional and amateur woodturners as well as talks and lectures on woodturning.
To locate the AWGB-affiliated branch nearest to you, simply click over your local area on the map, below: Those branches with a Web site have a blue dot. An alphabetical list of branches follows the map. |
