The Woodworking Association of Pretoria was established as a non profit association during 1989 with the purpose of bringing together woodworkers in all disciplines in the Pretoria area of the Gauteng province of South Africa.

Its objectives are, amongst others, the dissemination of information on wood and woodwork, to create co-operation between members to exchange ideas and knowledge, to organise regular meetings, workshops and competitions of members in the various disciplines of woodwork, to issue a regular newsletter to members and to liaise with other similar associations and clubs in South Africa.

Membership is open to any person interested in woodwork who applies on the prescribed application form and pays the annual subscription.

All members meet once a month while the different interest groups also meet monthly.
