Club History
The Niagara Woodworking Club was initially formed in 2008. It operated for seven consecutive years until late 2015 when the club went into a temporary hiatus as membership declined.
Meetings resumed in April 2019 under the direction of a Program Planning Group made up of Kevin Violette, Wayne Smith, and Bob White.
In March 2020, in person meetings were suspended due to pandemic restrictions. Meetings were replaced by virtual events on Facebook (special challenges coordinated through submissions of photos) and email communication.
In April 2022, regular meetings resumed at the North Pelham Community Hall.
