Any local wood working or bushcraft clubs or groups in Bristol?

[Murat_Cyp]

Hi,



I have just moved to Bristol and was wondering if there is any local green wood working non-profit clubs/organisations here. Google only throw out relatively expensive spoon courses etc. I suppose a bushcraft group will do as well. I am just looking to get together with like minded people and do some outdoor activities like wood carving or camping. I do not drive and live in the city centre so a relatively easy access with public transport it a must.



Open to any suggestions.



Thanks.

Check out the Association of Pole-lathe Turners & Green Woodworkers. website

They've got a UK wide forum there so likely to have a few mombers near to you

Unfortunately, the above link did not get me to the point I want to be.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated

Have you tried any local voluntary groups?

It might be worth posting on local community forums/FB page/organisation and invite like minded people to get together for a carve.

Just a quick search brings up these that could be contacted...

Even if they don't have what you want it's worth contacting them and asking if they know anyone or an organisation you can contact...

@Tony thanks for the links these are good starting points for me. I was not sure what voluntary groups were and how to get in contact with them.
