Monthly Meetings

Main Monthly Meeting

The Dublin Chapter holds its main monthly meeting on the first Saturday of each month beginning at 10:00AM and finishing about 1:00PM. The meeting usually consists of :

• demonstration of woodturning
• monthly woodturning competition
• a cup of tea/coffee
• opportunity to borrow books/videos/DVDs from the Book and video club
• the chance to meet old friends and other woodturners

There is a fee of €5 collected to cover the cost of the venue, tea/coffee etc.

It is a requirement under our insurance policy that only paid-up members may attend meetings. However, you may become an Associate member for the day if you are introducted by a member. This allows you to attend one meeting so that you can assess if you would like to join.

Venue for the main Monthly Meeting

NORMALLY the main monthly meeting is held in Terenure College.

However, as the College is hosting a number of events to celebrate its 100th anniversary all our meetings for 2010 will be held in the Willington Scout Hall, near Templeogue.

From January 2010, until further notice, all Dublin Chapter monthly meetings will be held at the Willington Scout Hall, Templeogue Wood.

This is a temporary arrangement as the Terenure College venue is unavailable during this time. To get to the Scout hall you should turn off the N81 at the Spawell Golf Centre (Wellington Lane). Pass the golf centre until you reach the roundabout. Turn right at the roundabout (Orwell Road) and go straight past the shopping centre (on your right).

The Scout Hall is on your right at the next roundabout.

Please park responsibly and do not block local traffic or entrances. Parking in the hall grounds is limited and is reserved for delivering/collecting equipment etc.

The co-ordinates for the Scout Hall are: GPS Ref: :     53.298000, -6.316060

Thursday Afternoon Meeting

On the Thursday following the main Saturday monthly meeting the chapter holds a more informal meeting in the Willington Scout Hall. This meeting begins at 2:00PM and ends around 5:00PM. This is a great chance to see a woodturning demonstration. Catch up with some of the woodturning gossip, bring along one of your turnings and get some advice (if required!!!) etc etc . A cup of tea/coffee is available and a contribution of just €2.00 covers the lot.
