The purpose of this, the official Association of Polelathe Turners & Greenwood Workers web site, is to promote green woodworking and all its associated crafts so that once again the woodlands of the world are nurtured and valued as a source of employment and enjoyment. The Association of Polelathe Turners and Greenwood Workers was created in 1990 by a group of a dozen like minded individuals who wanted to rescue the art of polelathe turning and greenwood working from obscurity. The organisation has a global membership of over 500. Printable Joining Leaflet
At present we don't have an online joining facility due to the rules surrounding our server hosting, however we are looking at setting up a paypal account. Local groups meet informally and can regularly be found in several places. Some have their own news pages on this site. If you are looking for bodgers local to you try posting a request on the Ask and Answer bulletin board. Or take a look at the list of local Local Groups. |

| The major event for 2009 is of course the APT & GW Bodger's Ball, a weekend of fun where we also hold our AGM. 2009 will be a momentous year as we are planning to convert the association into a company limited by guarantee. The Ball will be held at Cusworth Hall, Doncaster 9th – 11th May, organised by the South Yorks group lead by Ralph Sixsmith MBE. More information will be published nearer the time. Suffice to say there are few organisations where such a high percentage of the members turn up to the AGM! If you are organising or demonstrating at any event why not drop me a line so that I may add the details below.
