Taywood Woodturning Club
Taywood Woodturning Club is a welcoming and friendly club with around 50 members. We are passionate about our hobby and encourage people to come along and see for themselves. We meet on the first Saturday of the month at the Boyack Scout Hall, Dick St. Monifieth (DD5 4EF)
between 12 and 4 unless otherwise stated on the website. Please feel free to come and join us. You'll be made very welcome. It costs nothing to come and have a look.
