Four Kennet & Avon Woodturners members have received tutor accreditation certificates.

Peter Turner, Graham Pritchard, Kerry Smith, and Philip Lobb from the Kennet & Avon Woodturners club received their tutor accreditation certificates during the club's monthly gathering on Thursday, April 12.

Mr John Boyne-Aitken BEM, who conducted the assessments on behalf of the Associated Woodturners of Great Britain (AWGB), presented the certificates.

All four members successfully completed a three-hour online tutorial, followed by a practical assessment, to become AWGB-accredited tutors.

This qualification allows them to teach basic woodturning skills, with an emphasis on safety, to students.

Mr Boyne-Aitken said that they had all done extremely well.

The Kennet & Avon Woodturners club meets at the Seend Community Centre.

They invite both new and experienced woodturners to join.

The club's contact details can be found on their website.
