Meeting & structure of the evenings


Meetings are held at the  Eastleigh Railway Institute, Eastleigh

To see a map click here 

Meetings start at 19.30 and finish around 22.00. Most meetings feature a talk or demonstration about a turning or related subject by a club member or a well-known national turner. Several times a year we have 'turn-ins' with a number of lathes being operated by members demonstrating various techniques. 

Every month members are invited to bring work for the gallery. The gallery will be critiqued on the Turn-In evenings and if time allows on the other meeting nights. 
There is also a monthly project for novices and intermediates with the opportunity to discuss problems encountered and overcome. 

Refreshments are served at a mid evening break when members can catch up with the latest gossip. A raffle and prize draw rounds off the evening.

Membership is £17 per year with a joining fee of £5 for new members. Potential new members are welcome to come along and visit us without obligation or charge.

John Davis has a Vicmarc VL175 lathe complete with stand that he wants to sell (VL175).

John wants £1500 for it and will include the outboard tool rest (£250 new and only used a few times) F.O.C if it's sold before the end of March. I reckon the new price would be close to £2500.
