year.
There is an annual prize giving event at
which members work is judged in various categories as well as awarding the
Seaton Cup for the best piece of work.
There are occasional lectures held at our weekly meetings. Recent ones have included a wood turning demonstration and a talk on Chippendale.
We always have a stand at the Great Yorkshire Show where the show organisers run a marquetry competition, open to anyone.
The Craft for Xmas show takes place at the Yorkshire Show Ground as does the Northern Woodworking Show. We use the opportunity at these shows to try to recruit students for our beginners courses.

Of course there is a Xmas fuddle, held at our usual premises, which has a very well appointed bar area. Some of the members get together to carry out the catering. We also have a Summer Dinner which is very popular. Recently this has been at Sandmoor Golf Club.
Each year we run two projects, one as a challenge for members to develop their skills, and another to generate some small items for sale at the Crafts for Christmas Show. This year is a little different as we approach the 60th Anniversary of the Club, and we hope to have a special display for our 2013 Shows, and a celebration 2013 Calendar with pictures of members’ marquetry for each month available at Crafts for Christmas 2012.
