Three CNEW Membership Options
CNEW has three membership models. Our most popular is a regular membership for an individual. We have several families with memberships is our club. The family membership is priced low to encourage woodturning as a family hobby and activity. Finally, we offer a low cost option for students or young turners under 25 years old.
Fees are collected annually for the current year. Perspective members are welcome to attend two club meetings as guests to help evaluate if they would like to join for the remainder of the year. From time to time, we host a nationally recognized turner and have a door charge to help defray the costs for the professional demonstrator.
