The club was originally formed in November 1998 as The North Cheshire Woodworkers
Club. Founder members Ron Reanney, Henry Milner and Frank Halstead held the first
meeting in December with twelve members in total. Today the club enjoys the membership
of 40 members.
Following a Millennium Festival award of £3194, the club changed its
name to the Trafford & District Woodcraft club, and purchased various equipment.
In the early days, the club was fortunate enough to have the sole use of a room at
Altrincham College of Arts. This was converted into a workshop housing all our equipment.
After the redevelopment of the College, this room was demolished, however, due to
the generosity of Mr P. Brooks (Head Teacher) and his predecessor, Miss M Lloyd,
we have the continued use of a woodwork room within the college.
Club members meet
every Monday evening at 7:00 PM, and work on their individual projects, drawing on
each others experience and skills. On the first Monday of each month, we invite a
demonstrator, or have a presentation from an expert in various fields. Previous events
have included Woodturning, Marquetry, French Polishing and well known names such
as Tracy Owen, Tony Wilson, John Berkely, Bob Neil and Ray Jones.
We are always looking

us now to find out details of our next event, or just come along to one of our meeting.
On the first Monday of each month, the club invites a demonstrator or has a presentation from an expert in various wood craft fields. Details of our previous events can be found on our Demos page.
