We've been here before!! Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the May meeting was cancelled. A virtual competition was held as a way for members to stay in touch and still enjoy their hobby. On this occasion the 12 month rule for entries was swept aside and members were invited to submit a photo of their favourite piece. There are no points awarded for the competition, just bragging rights! A similar competition will be held for June.

Greg Holmes entered a box he had carved from a solid Oak post to take second place.
Liz King's pyrographed beach scene came in at joint third sharing the place with . . . .
Tony Reindorp's square bowl with marquetry detail.
Also entered were: Graham Legg's plate turned from (Australian) Red Malee burr.
Scrollsawn picture from James Sharpe - clearly didn't "feel lucky punk" on this occasion!
Peter Fantham turned his skills to making a hat from Alder.
An attractive box made by John Williams using Poplar, Olive Ash and Sapele.
Jan Bartlett entered her first bird carving.
Derek Puplett's urn was turned from Spalted Beech and ebonised Sycamore.
Mother and Child carving produced by Peter Blair to commemorate the birth of his first grandchild.
Intricate marquetry work by Terry Cambridge which isn't done justice by the photograph.
Five drawer treasure chest in Teak and Maple from David Reynolds
Rocking Horse (minus the stand) created in Pine by Digby Owen.
Carving by Carole Snell which probably sums up how a lot of us feel right now!
