The title says it all, really. I thought that the winter moot last year was something really special, and everyone seemed to have a great time.
Is there going to be a BCUK "Christmas meet" like we had last year?
- Thread starter Womble
- Start date

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
As far as I know Womble, there is a big 'Northern Bush Moot'. See Wanderinstars posts for that. I believe it will be held at their Delamere site on a lakeside.
Here in Bucks we, with the Bucks Bushcraft Group, are considering a family 'Meet-up' using the same venue as the Christmas Moot. This will enable those who can't get up north to socialise and attend some informal workshops. (similar to last year)
As yet there is no date because things have not moved beyond the discussion stage. What has been suggested so far is an 'After christmas Meet-up'.
I, personally, am happy to juggle dates either before or after Christmas. Just depends on the majority of folks saying YES to a specific weekend and focusing on that.
The building is there, the woods are there, just add Bushcrafters!
I know certain members are (lucky b******s) off to Norway and will be missed. It would be good to get them to give a talk on their experiences after they have returned.
I would welcome comments and positive input from interested parties as to how and when to proceed.

Who going to norway that will be meI am up for this meet
is that an organised thing or off your own back? I was reading up on the winterskills course on Mears site and it sounds fantastic, until you get to the price!!!
Well due to lack of proper diary planning on my part I am not going to host a pre christmas meet.
However I will be hosting a post Christmas bash.
So if your close to Sussex Hampshire border come along and play with your nice new Christmas kit.

I'd certainly be interested in a post-Christmas meet (i.e. after new year) if I could come along to anything that the Bucks group organise. The Northern one is too far for me to travel. Pre-Christmas is usually too full to be able to get away, and family wouldn't be too pleased if I scarpered off between Christmas and New Year.

I'm definitely interested - dates would be useful so that I can clear it with wife and family.
I thought I'd seen 5/6 Jan as posibilities or am I imagining this?Geoff
Hi Folks.
Yes we have discussed the 'Christmas meet' with dates being firm for the 5th and 6th Jan 2008.
There will be simple arrangements regarding the main workshops with two each day along with 'Childrens workshops' and other small demonstrations by those who may be able to offer their services on the day.
We now have access to a traditional dew pond so ideas on water purification will be part of this agenda....Millbank bags at the ready!
There will be a pit roast with another of the six legged deer that seem to lurk in the woods. A very kind gentleman has offered to re dig the original hole and tend the fire. (Thanks 3Please)
There will be a woodland walk in some of the abandoned arboretum and our award winning Beech woodland.
As usual with the site there are the covered buildings in case of inclement weather or in our case a full blown gale where upon the situation develops into a refugee camp!!
Swyn.
PS I have now started a new thread for these dates to stop any confusion. Perhaps anyone who is interested should now post there and not here. S
