Central Coast Woodturners Co-Operative

The Central Coast Woodturners Co-op is a not for profit Co-operative and the Club was formed in 1985 by a small group of enthusiasts, to promote the art of woodturning and related skills. We conduct monthly meetings where members and guests share information, display projects, hear guest speakers and see demonstrations. Club details are included in the Community Directory websites of both Gosford and Wyong Shires. We have groups involved in woodturning, scroll sawing, carving, toy making and pyrography.

Currently there is a $10 joining fee and an annual subscription of $35 (due on 1st July each year). Members must be at least 18 years old. A $50 fee will be charged for new members wishing to learn woodturning, this is to cover the cost of timber and other materials used during their training.

Meetings are held on the first Friday of each month (except January) in the Dolphin Theatre at Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College. The Entrance Campus is on the corner of Yakalla Street and The Entrance Road, Bateau Bay, commencing at 7.00PM. Merchandise, library facilities and refreshments are available.

This is located in the old Wyong Milk Factory in Alison Road, Wyong. The workshop is well equipped and used for training and other meetings involving woodturning, scroll sawing, carving, toy making and pyrography. Training is offered to 15 year olds providing they are accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult. Merchandise is also available for purchase (members only).

These include liaison and visits with other clubs, demonstrations, displays, sales at shopping centres and events, such as the Flora Festival, Australia Day celebrations, Mardi Gras, and the Sydney Timber Working with Wood Show.
