First in the Masters' competition - no prizes for guessing! - was John McConnell

His Starling was in a class of its own.

Second - again no prizes for guessing! - was the LARGE vase in Yew from Peter Fantham

Dick Potter's natural edge bowl took third place.

Also on the table was James Sharpe's bowl in Rosewood and . . . . . .

. . . . . Geoff Nellis's pedestal bowl in Mulberry.

First place in the Members' Open section was this splendid vase of flowers from new member John Williams.

. . . . another cartoon character from Terry Plews . . .

. . . John Waring showed some delicate work in Sapele . . .

Geoff Dalton's bowl in Cherry showed a lot of character but I doubt whether its water tight!!

Carvers' corner was well populated.

John McConnell's pyrography corner attracted some new people.

Dick Potter coaching on the lathe . . . .

. . . . plenty of people keen to have a go.

Eric Hudson also demonstrated/coached on a lathe.

The competition table provided plenty of talking points.

The display of members' work attracted interest . . . .

A source of inspiration for members.
