Wits Woodworkers Association

PO Box 129, Parklands 2121, South Africa

Established in 1990, the Witwatersrand Woodworkers Association (WWA) is a non-profit organisation that exists to promote and maintain interest, skill and excellence in the working of wood.

We support all facets of woodworking, and have amateurs from all walks of life and many professional woodworkers among our members.

Monthly meetings, serve as a forum for the interests of our members. Many specific interest-groups and workshops convene at various times during the month (see below for details). A single, annual fee allows access to all facilities and groups, with no additional fees levied. We welcome all that have an interest in woodworking, and thrive on new membership and fresh ideas. Contact us using the postal address above or contact the secretary on email at Ken.woodman AT gmail.com for further details.

Monthly meetings:

Turners - First Monday of the month at the clubhouse at REEA at 18h00.
Main Club - Second Wednesday of the month at the clubhouse at 18h00.
Toymakers - First and third Monday of every month, 9h00 till 12h00. Contact Eddie Marchio on (011) 678-8062 or on email at rm22 AT mweb.co.za for more information.
