The Association of Pole-lathe Turners and Greenwood Workers (APT&GW) was created in 1990 by a group of a dozen like minded individuals who wanted to promote the art of pole-lathe turning and greenwood working to the rest of the world.

The APT&GW:

• publishes The Bodger’s Gazette, a quarterly magazine filled with articles from members
• holds a ‘Bodgers Ball’ weekend at the beginning of May; providing an opportunity to meet other Bodgers, watch demonstrations, and take part in competitions
• supports the creation and running of local and regional affiliated groups of members
• advertises courses run by members
• provides plans for various projects
• provides educational display boards
• provides banners for local groups
• provides bursaries for research
• sells APT merchandise – shirts, badges etc.
