Club meetings usually take place on the third Sunday of the month, eleven times a year, there being no meeting in December to avoid conflict with holidays periods. The meeting venue we use is Carno Community Centre. There is plenty of free parking available, and the hall is easily accessible to wheelchair users. The hall has a stage at one end, where the lathe is located for demonstrations, and plenty of seating is available. The club has invested in quality AV equipment which allow closeups of every demonstration to be relayed to flat screen TVs at either side of the stage so everyone in the hall gets a really good view of what is going on. A radio microphone and loudspeaker system, along with a hearing aid loop, ensure that everyone can hear what the demonstrator is saying. Tea & coffee are available free during the breaks at every meeting, along with a selection of excellent home made cakes, savories and hot snacks at very reasonable cost. Meetings are either half day or full day, and there is a small entry charge for each meeting. We usually have a couple of "Hands On" days every year. There is no formal demonstration at these meetings, but a number of lathes are available where club members can demonstrate techniques and try new tools. Novices to woodturning can have a go themselves at these meetings under the supervision of experienced club members. At every meeting we have a table where club members display their latest turned work, and there is a raffle of various prizes donated by club members. Occasionally, the club also attends local events such as village shows and vintage rallies. At these events experienced club members demonstrate woodturning and the club usually has a table of members work for sale.
