The topics will cover the two challenges that were issued to the membership on March 17th, just as we began our Covid-19 sequester. These were:

?

?????????????? Challenge C2. A User-made turning accessory. Not turned, perhaps, but made by the member toaid?her/him while at?the?lathe?and make an item to show having used the turning accessory.?

?

?????????????? ST: Show & Tell: We will also have an open Show & Tell, separate from the challengeslisted above.

?

You may submit up to 6 photographs in total. It is up to you how to distribute these. For example, if you participate in both challenges (C1) and (C2), andthe Show & Tell (ST), you could submit 2 photos of each of these categories. As another example, if you don’t enter either challenge, you may submit up to 6 images in the Show& Tell.
