Events Programme
The Gloucestershire Association of Woodturners (GAW) meet on the second Wednesday of every month at the Hucclecote Rugby Football Club in Gloucester where the meetings commence at 7:30pm. We are open to people of all ages and skill levels, whether you are just starting out or an experienced turner. At most meetings we have a top class demonstrator. If you’ve not been to one of our meetings before you are most welcome to come along to any meeting as a visitor (£3 entrance fee for visitors). Please see the event diary below.
