Gooooooood evening campers!!
TNT is looking to support a local Clay Pigeon Shooting Club. We would love to know if there is interest in a monthly group to attend the club. It could be an all-veterans group (like we currently have at a different club) or just a delicious mix of everyone.
No experience or licence is needed and it is purely for fun, fresh air, and a copious amount of banter.
A degree of fitness is required as you will need to walk through 2 fields. Held on a Sunday morning.
Please comment below if you’re interested and let us know if it would be for a veterans-only or mixed.

Evening you awesome bunch,

As we steadily move towards our grand opening we would love to know a little more about you.

You are all at the heart of what we do and we want to ensure the we cater for everyone.

One way we will be doing this is by having subsidised courses from funding and grant opportunities. Therefore every bit of information we can gather helps us massively to be able to provide this.

If you have a spare couple of minutes to fill in the survey below it would be hugely appreciated.

Stay classy,

The True North Trades CIC Team

A second slot has been opened for our Copper Rose Workshops - grab your place before it's gone!

In this workshop, you will be learning to manipulate copper into an amazing work of art, creating an elegant copper rose! You will learn how to work with the metal, including cutting, crimping and soldering to create an everlasting rose.

This session is our 12pm - 2pm slot. Book your place here: https://landofoakandiron.org.uk/event-directory/copper-rose-workshops-12pm/

Another cheeky sneak-peak at what we are finalising at the workshop right now.
Going for a very old school type build using clever tracks and solid timber!
All routed by hand. All designed in-house. We can’t wait to show this one off! And then back to working on the workshop to get it ready for you lovely people!!
And a huge thanks to the chaps Jewson Consett branch for looking after us!!

We apologise for our lack of posts recently. We have been working on a gorgeous big build for a special client.
This has come with no days off for 3 weeks and working until we run out of light 😬
So enjoy this sneak peak at a component from the build, my tired face 😂 and a dark workshop!

As you know we’re always looking for new venues and areas to expand where we deliver our workshops, so we were thrilled when the lads from True North Trades got in touch to ask us to come and check out their new digs in Annfield Plain.

Ceri and Leanne headed up there this morning to take a peek and honestly we were blown away by what they’re creating - the whole venture that they have planned is going to be outstanding and we can’t wait to run some sessions up there!

Keep your eyes peeled for some of our workshops heading there in the New Year, and in the meantime definitely take a look at what is happening at their place over on their page as they’re well worth a follow👌🏻
