Latest award from the Roger Stewart Fund
« on: July 15, 2016, 08:54:20 AM »
On Wednesday I gave a demo at Eden Valley Woodturners. I was delighted to be able to tell Luke Hullock that we had approved his grant application. Luke is 14 and as keen as keen can be on Woodturning. He has saved his paper round money to buy a lathe and tools, joined Eden Valley Woodturners and the AWGB.

He has got a place on the Young Turners training day with Andrew Hall in October which is funded by the Worshipful Company of Turners.

John Davis Woodturning are sending Luke a Record ambient airfilter, a Camvac dust extractor with tool kit and an Ellipse dust mask and filters.

We're paying the bill from the Roger Stewart Fund.  This is another great example of the work of the AWGB, supported by yourselves.

Dave Atkinson, Chairman

There stands the future of our craft/art

Well done the WCT, the AWGB and John Davis, that's a lot of equipment he's being given from an individual, it will stand him in good stead.
