CLUB COMPETITIONS
At the 2014 AGM, John Whitehead proposed a monthly competition on club demonstration nights, and offered to sponsor a prize. Gordon Malan seconded and volunteered to donate to the prize fund as well.
Competition categories agreed so far are as follows:
- October 2014 Bowl
- November 2014 Weed pot / bud vase
- December 2014 Christmas competition, 3 categories:
1 Hollow form; 2 Spindle turning; 3 Other - January 2015 Candle Holder
- February 2015 Vase / Hollow form
- March 2015 Decorated bowl
- April 2015 Natural edge item

Hollow form, spindle work and "other" items.
The Christmas competition ran in three categories. The winners were:
Hollow form - Brian Wrigglesworth for his spalted beech jug
Spindle work - Keith Nellis for his candelabra (sycamore and ebony?)
Other - Gordon Malan for his walnut winged bowl with lid
A couple of photos below. I had to leave early, but Gordon Malan sent me photos of the winners, with apologies for the blur - obviously he didn't take them all as he was a winner himself.
