The focus for the evening was on sharpening.

Members were asked to bring tools for sharpening under the direction of Andrew Stevens.

Star of the evening was Morrigan Irwin, our newest and youngest member.

Patty Zipp's popular lucky draw was won by Geoff Bennett.

Remember that there are sharpening stones that can be borrowed to sharpen your tools in your own time. See under "Equipment available on loan".

Below are a selection of photos taken by John Keulder.
