Northumbrian Woodturners Association was formed in 1991 by a group of 14 woodturners who individually were all woodturning and would bump into each other at Keenlysides DIY of Bedlington when buying supplies for their woodturning.
They realised there was a need for a club so they could share their common interest, encourage others to take up the craft and pass on knowledge by means of demonstrations at club meetings. They had a meeting in June 1991 to agree the format of the new club. The first monthly meeting of members was held at Keenlysides Bedlington premises on 6th September 1991. It was chaired by Mr Alf Duncan and it was decided that all members would be invited to turn a table lamp and a competition would be held the following month to judge them.
The club owes thanks to the late Mr Morris Muter, the owner of Keenlysides DIY, for allowing the club to meet at Keenlysides free of charge in the early days, as well as much other assistance he gave that helped get the club off the ground.
