It's been busy at the Turners stand in Guildhall London. A pen made by a SEND school student was gifted to the Duke of York, who loved all the turned goods on offer. The Duke purchased an apple in spalted beech by maker . The Lady Mayor also made a purchase. The Master Andy Ewens and professional turner Stuart King were on hand to answer all the detailed questions.

Past Master Christopher Scott is also raising money for the Army Benevolent Fund, selling his recently published first novel, United in Valour.
