We are excited to be welcoming Stephen Hughes from Australia this year as our Guest Demonstrator. Stephen has some great projects lined up to demonstrate and for us to have a go at. More info about these projects will be available closer to the time.

Please note that there is a new requirement this year regarding safety in the workshop.

Details are given on the registration form but, in addition to our existing health and safety measures, all attendees using a lathe must:

1. use a protective shield/screen in front of their lathe, and
2. wear an appropriate mask and head/face protection.

WWG will provide lathe shields for each of our club lathes in the workshop, but those of you bringing your own lathe will need to organise a shield for yourself.

Spin Around is a great event and we want to be sure everyone returns home not only informed and inspired, but also in one piece!

Looking after ourselves in this way is in everybody’s best interest.
