GNHW Turning Symposium

May 4-5, 2012, New England Woodturning Symposium, Pinkerton Academy, Derry NH.

Just one of nearly 30 demonstrations at the 2009 Turning Symposium

Hosted by The Guild of NH Woodworkers and Granite State Woodturners.

Friday is Youth Day, allowing any student to attend free. Several outstanding turners will display their skills and we are sure will inspire young people to try turning.

Saturday will be the Guild’s Seventh Turning Symposium featuring over twenty-five presenters, an Instant Gallery and Trade Show. A must not miss event.

This is the place for a summary of all you need to know leading up to this event. For a look back at past Guild Symposia, go to the Symposia Blog.

This is the Guild’s only paid event and even then, it only comes around once every three years. Don’t miss this one. The 2009 Symposium included 28 presenters with 350 attendees.

This year, you will be able to register and pay online using the member website. Of course, you will also be able to use a check and snail mail as in the past.


Guild Bylaws Passed at Nov 19 General Meeting

The Guild is governed by a set of bylaws which may be amended from time to time. Established early in the Guild’s existence, they were amended in 1998 and again in 2006. The Steering Committee has been working on a set of changes since early this year and has now agreed on a document for submittal to the membership for approval at the general meeting scheduled for November 19, 2011.

The new bylaws were approved at the Nov 19 general meeting. You can see the new bylaws and a summary of the significant changes here.
