jadboog Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi all, As a new woodworker, completely unable to find any relevant woodworking courses in Cardiff (or Pontypridd, where I live), and I'm struggling to find any clubs for general woodworking in my area. So, I'm prepared to put up, not shut up, and start a club. I imagine a club could meet regularly, to share ideas, skills, show of projects and provide advice to newbies like me. I'm a general interest woodworker myself and would welcome general woodworking, scrollsawing, carving, turning and anything of woody interest! BUT, I need help! To start a club I'd need some interested members, and would ask anyone in this forum: 1. If you are in South Wales are you interested in joining / helping me to form a club? 2. Does anyone in the forum have any ideas / advice about starting a club? (could we have guest speakers / lessons / what are the logistics / any problems / issues etc.). 3. Can anyone recommend venues where the club could meet? (I'm thinking colleges / schools with woodshops etc.) Please post in this thread or PM if interested. Merry Christmas!

jhl.verona Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I don't think there are all that many European woodworkers on this site, jadboog, let alone English or Welsh. You might have more luck asking in a more local forum. I can't recommend any, because I'm not a member, but a quick search came up with: http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/ http://www.woodworkuk.co.uk/forum/ HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadboog Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi John, Thanks for the message - I have already posted in the local forums, but I'm aware that a lot of British woodworkers read Marc's blog on a regular basis, but it's worth a shot. Happy Holidays, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopcat Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm in London so wales is bit far for me now didn't used to be when I used to fly from th sw wales paragliding sites near you though. I have found some of the courses run by Axminster to be very useful to learn about particular areas, but you have, in the guild, one heck of a resource for learning and answers to questions. a virtual club if you like! have you built along with any of the guild builds yet? cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
