  Wigan Woodcrafts

.... was formed in June 1996 by a small group of about 12 enthusiasts and has steadily grown to a lively and active 40. Originally meeting in an old Church in Wigan, the HQ of the Wigan Sea Cadets, but in late 2007 had to move to new premises in neighbouring Platt Bridge, click here for a location map.

The Club holds it’s AGM every January, usually the first Monday.

  Objectives

To allow members to get together to share common interests and pursuits. To offer professional advice through demonstrations to enable members to improve their skills and further their interests in new techniques and equipment. To create a source of help and advice from fellow members and to help alleviate the isolation of what can be a solitary pursuit.
Membership is open to anyone on the payment of an annual fee.
