Cork Chapter September 1st 2017
The Cork
Chapter committee are encouraging all of our members to enter their work in the
monthly competition, a practice that has fallen by the wayside over the past
few years. Most if not all of our turners are producing work of a very high
standard. These are comments made by Pat Carroll at the August workshop, who
also pointed out that the number of pieces in the competition compared to the
number of turners in the Chapter was very small.
It can take
bravery to display your work and risk appraisal or, even worse , for it not to
be noticed. so well done to everyone who seeks to improve their work, by
entering competitions and accepting appraisal if it is necessary
The Chapter
is always on the lookout for ways to improve it, for instance, more members
being prepared to do demos There is no
doubt that there are many members who are more than capable of doing so. The Committee are members who willingly let
their names go forward for election at
the AGM, to oversee the organising and running of the Chapter for the following
year, but at times it is disappointing that, except for the few, the same people are left to
clear up the shavings and restore the school as we get it. In future it would
be appreciated if some more members gave a hand at this.
