Back from Glasters. It was excellent and the Bowdrill demos and workshops went very well. I get a buzz from teaching it because people are genuinly thrilled when they do it. I had women, kids and people of all ages and sizes having a go and had an almost 100% success rate. Some took longer than others but the vast majority got it in the end. Patience when teaching is the key. A few times quite a crowd gathered to watch and clapped and cheered when the person having a go for the first time got it. Quite a buzz. Saw some excellent bands too especially impressed with Keane, The Thrills, and Kaiser chiefs amongst others which my son dragged me along to see but although dubious at first, I really enjoyed watching them and the atmosphere was fantastic. Helped out a few poor souls who were flooded with rigging up some shelter too which made me feel I was helping those folk out albeit in a small way, but they seemed to appreciate it.
I met EdS there too, and he helped out a little bit with the workshops. Cheers for that Ed, much appreciated.
A fantastic week and still buzzing from it today
