    Meadowlands Fellowship Christian Reformed Church (MFCRC), 211 Stonehenge Dr, Ancaster, ON L9K 1R4

   EVENT DESCRIPTION:

  This Hands-On night will be something a little different from our usual routine.  We will host special guests:

  • Chantelle and Celine from William-Wood Write will be present to show off (and sell) some of their new and exciting items.  Chantelle may also demonstrate how to inlay different products too.
  • Sandpaper.ca is our other special guest, and they will have a selection of their papers available for members to review and buy. 

  The Sharpening Station will also be open to allow newer turners to come in and get help sharpening their own tools.

  Two lathes will be open for members demo and/or to practice their spindle turning under the guidance of some more experienced members.

  Finally, a booth will be set up so you can buy your brand new GHWG logo baseball hats.  Available in two colours (grey & light blue).  These hats look great, help to promote the guild when attending Home Shows and are just a wonderful way to demonstrate your GHWG pride in this amazing club.

  Please bring your cash and take advantage of any sales and save the delivery charges.

  This hands-on evening WILL NOT be streamed live in our usual hybrid meeting format.   

  All are welcome.  Guests are invited to join an introductory meeting to  see how they like the group, then encouraged to sign up online and become a member of the Guild. 

  Please let the Host know (verbally or via Chat) that you are a guest when you join.
