Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday 30th April 2022 in Togher at 12 noon. Following the AGM there will be a tea/coffee break, followed by Donal Ryan from Limerick who will perform a demo starting at 2pm and will last for about 2 hours. Donal is a very experienced professional turner who has demonstrated for us in the past. The committee is encouraging all members to attend the AGM to elect the incoming committee for 2022. We haven't had an AGM for 2 years and perhaps some members would be prepared to serve on the committee. All positions are open, to be filled by anyone interested in doing so.
