Final packing of the van going on here, heading to to Makers Central ready for this weekends show. Lots of new toys on the stand including the new tilting router lift-not even on the website yet!

Hope to see a few of you there, please come over to D10 between Turners Retreat and Dremel and say hello!

Cheers

Peter

See you tomorrow

The North of England Woodworking Show - Harrogate
11th - 13th November 2022

Harrogate show - which are the best days? I live near by so can go to any day. Is it worth booking the Friday off work? or are Saturday and Sunday ok too

 

[Peter Sefton]

@TominDales Fridays are usually the busiest day and Sunday the quietest in the past, it may depend whether you like the crowds or would rather talk in depth to exhibitors.

Cheers

Neither and event nor a show, but certainly interesting. A bunch of mini shows that make up an event.

Cambridge Open Studios, long running series of artists studio's and workshops opening on one or more of the weekends in July. I noticed in this year's brochure that 7 furniture makers were listed, plus a few wood sculptors etc. If you live in the area it's worth the effort to go. All free.

Here it is online, if you go to 'discover' and put furniture in the search box you will see the 7 makers listed:

Celebration of Craftsmanship and Design Cheltenham

We used to be quite involved in CCD but a change of ownership and Covid has left us out of touch, it would normally run in the last two weeks of August but I haven't seen anything about it this year, I assume it may have been lost forever unless someone knows otherwise?

Now that you're free over the bank holiday you can come to the Deerhurst Flower Festival where I will be exhibiting my clocks in Odda's Chapel.

I'm expecting to go the Deerhurst over the Bank Holiday. Be lovely to see your clocks. The flowers are always amazing as well

Was hoping to go to the Oak fair on 27th but since we are still fighting the insurance after my partner getting hit by a lorry and writing our car off we have no way to get there hopefully we will make it to the Surrey Hills woodfair on Sept 10th

Miles (MTMC) Tool Show 2022 9/10 September in Yeovil

Anyone in the Gloucester or surrounding area might like to trot across to the Frampton Country Fair this Sunday 11th Sept. A really great semi agricultural, semi craft fair. The Gloucestershire Woodturners have a stand and I will be one of the demonstrators. There are other tents with a wide range of craft and others inc local food producers.

Have been a longtime demonstrator and exhibitor at the Harrogate show but won't be attending this year, hope all goes well for those who are visiting or working there next month.
