Joseph will be leaving Uk in March to return to his homeland Croatia.

Joseph has been a very keen member since 2007 & his work has been an inspiration to his fellow members,his presence will be greatly missed.

Joseph was presented at the AGM with an engraved ferrule & a pressed up rams horn head ready to be carved, something that had been on his wish list for sometime. We look forward to seeing some photos of the completed stick in the future.

We wish Joseph & his wife Lily all best wishes for their return home.
