In memory of Charles Fredrick Houghton ( Fred )

The founder and past Chairman of the North Highland Woodturners Fred Houghton passed away in October. He left Caithness for Wigan some 5 years ago to be nearer family,
he was a great help to all our members with years of experience and knowledge,
his demonstrations will live with us for ever……..

Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
