SMLC Club Projects

We are often asked by members of the public and other organisations to carry out commissions that require our particular expertise. We, of course, try to accommodate these requests where possible, and on the following pages we will showcase some of these projects for you.

These projects are carried out by our members, often testing their skills in new and unusual ways. Project like these also provide some additional and much needed club funds which help to pay for equipment and materials.

Below are 5 such projects we have undertaken recently.

If you have a project or idea that you think we can assist you with then please get in touch to discuss it, we just might be able to help.
