RYEDALE WOODCARVERS

          This is a well established group of individuals who enjoy the creative activity of carving something from wood. The group includes people with a wide range of abilities from the beginner to those who are experienced and skilled.

          The group meets every Tuesday throughout the ‘term time’ of the year at Wrelton Village Hall. We bring our own equipment, hand tools and timber. The group includes a range of ages and both men and women. The session start at 9.00 a.m. and the hall is booked until 4.00p.m. although most of us are ‘fair chiselled out’ by about 3.00p.m.

          The members of the group help set out the work room and pack it away each week. All help is valued. There is a morning break and we all dine together having brought our own food.

          We have the skilled services of a teacher who attends every fortnight to help with the development of our skills. There is enough talent in the group to support those who wish to learn how to carve. There is a small fee paid on attendance at each session.

All members help with the running of the group.

          Though we couldn’t accommodate a huge number of people due to the size of the hall, we do have some vacancies. We are open to new members. If you are interested in joining us please contact the Hon. Secretary : Andrew Clark email:  andrew.s.clark@gmail.com    

          If we become oversubscribed we have customarily used a ‘waiting list’. So ‘welcome’ if you’re interested, we’ll contact you and arrange a ‘taster session’ where you can come and see the group during a session.
