Treasurer | Phil Kendall My membership started in 2022 and I am really enjoying the benefits of being in the HWT. I am also new to turning, starting to dabble from 2021 after retiring from a career in Chemical Engineering and wanting to extend my long-term interest in working with wood. I am still on a steep learning curve and the club has helped to accelerate my learning. Working with FOG wood is my main interest. I am joining the committee to help keep the club thriving and growing. |

Membership Secretary | Terry Johnson originally from Lincolnshire my first encounter with woodtuning was as a young boy watching a next door neighbour making lace bobbins for his wife. I acquired an old lathe from a college friend but never did much with it. On taking early retirement from local government I moved to Cambridgeshire and joined the Ely Guild of Woodturners. Tuition was difficult to find so I am very grateful for the excellent training sessions that Brian Ford has run. I just need to devote more time to practice! |

General Member | David Bowen First learnt to turn wood at Ross Grammar School in the 60s. Then meet HWT Club at the Herefordshire County Show in my 60s. So after a gap of some 50 years I am now turning again. I enjoy watching demos at Headway and on the net, then going out to my workshop and trying to do them on my Vicmarc lathe. also love studying the work of our club grand masters. I joined the Committee to promote the clubs profile and recruit new members. With our new committee I believe the club has a great future. |
