NEWS
High seat Workshop
This event attracted 5 members who attended the workshop given by Ryan Brentnell at his premises near Okehampton. The day engendered lively discussions and good woodworking skills, with the making of several free-standing models.
In total, three high seats were manufactured and purchased by the members, who only paid £25 to Branch funds to attend the training but were also delighted to take the ladders away at cost price of only £100 each! If this mini one-day course appeals, then please email to lodge your interest, and if enough interest is generated then a further course can be run in 2020.
