WOOD TURNING CLUB


There seems to be a great need for a local woodturning club. Our very first meeting will be Tuesday, October 2nd. We will meet the first and third Tuesday at 6pm. Anyone who is interested in learning, teaching, or sharing information or techniques in woodturning is welcome to be a part of our woodturning group. All members will be a member of the American Association of Woodturners.

Meeting Location: 182 Curtis James Rd. (formerly Tower Rd.) Near GA 18 and Upper River Rd. in Jones County. Approximately 10 miles from Macon, 10 miles from Gray and 18 miles from Forsyth in the 31032 zip code.

Directions: From US 129 and GA 18 West, go 6.6 miles on GA 18 to Upper River Rd. Turn left. Go one-half mile to Curtis James Rd. Turn left. Go 4/10ths of a mile to the second house on the left. The shop is in the back. OR from US 23/ GA 87 and GA 18 go East on GA 18 for 6.5 miles, just past the 5 mile marker, to Upper River Rd. Turn right on Upper River Rd.

Thanks, Terry. Google doesn't yet know about Curtis James Rd (newly renamed?). Tower Rd works better. I didn't try the other mappers. A bit distant for me, but sure to get some interest in the neighborhood.

Best regards.

Yes, Joe. Actually 80 miles

From Talahassee, FL, it would seem close to Atlanta, but it is actually not. Also yes, The county changed the name from Tower Rd to Curtis James Rd. about three months ago. Guess I'll see you when the AAW has a SOUTHEASTERN symposium. Maybe Atlanta, Savannah, Tallahassee, or Jacksonville.
