Charlie,

I would urge you to make sure of one thing. Be absolutely positive
that you can keep everything that you put on the site UP TO DATE. The
local turners club has an extensive site with all kinds of ambitious
stuff. The problem is that what is on there is so out of date that it
tells you nothing about the club. The fact that they don't update has
kept me from even considering joining. If they are that slovenly about
their website I wouldn't expect to gain anything by joining. I even
emailed them to suggest they clean things up but didn't even get a
response. Take a look:

Some of the stuff hasn't been updated for so long (2002-3) that they
should be ashamed and some of the links have been "under development"
for even longer.

Erkk... I have a friend that's in that club.. lol

I feel your pain.. When I lived in the States, it took me 6 months to FIND my
local club because the contact for the club whose email and phone was listed for
contact had been DEAD for a few years..

I have to wonder, though, if it was the clubs fault for not updating AAW, or
AAW's fault for not updating the contact list..

If I hadn't of met a guy in a saw shop that turned out to be in the club, I
never would have found it..
