The Xmas 2011 Big Band night at the St Leonards Hotel

A really good night enjoyed all who went, 16 in all, shame there weren't a few more.

The food is always good here but this year the Xmas menu was fantastic, I honestly can't remember when I last tasted Beef as good and the "Swing Unlimited" Big Band with leader Pat Piero were fantastic.

The Ringwood Woodcarvers regularly attend a couple of local shows every year but we are sometimes invited to join other groups when they are displaying their work.

We sometimes invite speakers and demonstrators to our meetings and this page will feature these special events.

Below is Alan Mechen from Hampshire Woodcarvers teaching us to carve a face on a bar of soap, a brilliant evening.
