I have reservations about that, for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, the AWGB is very much an 'open' organisation which promotes wood-turning from all levels of experience, so segregating any one section of the wood-turning community doesn't sit well in my interpretation of the association's ethos. Secondly, how could such a matter work? If it were possible to segregate beginners, then you might deny them access to a wealth of experience, but being realistic, any member can open a post from any other member, and comment upon it,,,,and surely this is how it should be!
