Board Meeting Location

If you would like to join the group for dinner, it begins at 6 PM and the business meeting starts at 7 PM. Generally, the meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month unless it is a holiday. Occasionally, the meeting date has to be rescheduled, so check with any Board member to verify the date if you are planning to attend. Check the Schedule page for dates.

WNT Membership Form

The cost of membership is $24 per year. Membership renewals are due on the first of the year. For new members joining during the year, the cost is prorated at $2 times the number of months remaining in the year. A membership renewal form can be downloaded from the following link:
2008 WNT Membership Renewal Form. Members are encouraged when renewing to elect to receive the club newsletter electronically. Doing so will reduce printing and mailing expenses. Additionally, many hours could be saved each month in preparing fewer printed copies.

Empty Bowl Challenge?

Have you started to turn any bowls for the Empty Bowl Challenge? Last year we didn't make 100 bowls. Think we can do it this year? If we get one bowl from every turner we can do it. Start turning, come to the meeting for more details.

Instant Gallery Format

The Instant Gallery Section is a catalogue of pieces that members have displayed at club meetings. The Instant Gallery is updated and organized on a monthly basis.

Changes have been made in the format of the Instant Gallery segment of the monthly program to allow more time for the demonstration. There will be three tables set up: Critique Items, New Turnings, and Bring Back items. Continue to bring all your new turnings to show and pick one that you would like to include on the "Critique" table. All turnings will be photographed as usual and posted on the website. However, only one turning per person will be critiqued during the meeting. This format will allow a more thorough critic of individual pieces while allowing more time for the program.
