MEETINGS
At the Central Oklahoma Woodturners (COWA) meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month
in the Automotive Training Auditorium at the Metro Technology Center, 4901 South
Bryant Avenue, Oklahoma City starting at 6:30 P.M.. Meetings are dedicated to
woodturning demonstrations with the member's Instant Gallery-Show & Tell held
in March, June, September, and December.
INSTANT GALLERY-SHOW & TELL
At COWA, we dedicate the
entire meeting in March, June, September, and December to the member's Instant
Gallery-Show &
Tell instead of every month. When we held the Instant Gallery-Show &
Tell every month the time was limited for the featured demonstrations.
A large majority of our members wanted to show their work, with many bringing in several pieces.
By dedicating the entire meetings the member's Instant Gallery-Show & Tell including the bring back program
members are able to spend the time to show and talk about each piece. We
encourage every member to participate; it helps develop camaraderie,
particularly with newer members who were reluctant before. After each
piece is shown and talked about the pieces are
photographed and posted here on our gallery pages for others to enjoy.
BRING BACK PROGRAM
Our Bring Back Program is also a little different than in most clubs.
Instead of having only one or two items to raffle as bring back we have upward
of 20 pieces. A few years ago we used the one or two item format, but it seemed
that often people would forget to bring a piece back. We placed a challenge to
the members to dedicate a piece for the bring back. Many pieces were donated
which now gives more opportunity for members to win a piece. Now that we have a
large number of pieces to raffle we have not noticed any drop off to the number
of turnings. The rules are simple, if you win a piece you are to bring one back
for the next Bring Back Program. We do ask that it not be a cast off, but one
that you would be of quality, up to the turners ability and one they would be proud
to own. The new format has
been a great success for the COWA.
