A great Moot at a great new site

[John Fenna]

Well - I just got home and have almost finished unpacking - a 6 hour drive - and I am now about to start relaxing....
I do not think I have enjoyed a Moot more - chilling, seeing old friends, falling in love again (platonically - with Chaos and Mayhem )eating too much, drinking too much, telling to many lies and being shot with so many arrows that it made St. Sebastion look a beginner!
The final tally of Donations for Ty Hafan children's hospice is £550 - a phenominal amount and I am shocked, stunned and humbled by the generosity of folk in these tough days. All I did was make a fool of myself - and that was easy - you guys did the bit that counts!
Perhaps the English are not as tight as some folk claimed... but you have set a new record for donations at the Moot and a new mark for next year to try to beat! The previous record was a mere £450 (if memory serves correctly) so that is well and truely broken now.
Many thanks to all - even to those whos shots hit home!

Matt (Trotsky here) took this portrait of me - I love it! ...but I can see how folk might want to spoil the beauty by shooting it full of arrows!
On that subject - can folk send me their GOOD photos of be being shot - I would like to show Ty Hafan what it is I do....

contrasted with my works photo

I think Matt has captured me better - for all but when I encounter noisy campers next to my pitch....

As my first Moot, apart from Tony, your face John was the only one that I recognised, and grateful to get meet you on the morning of the first full day.

Your interactions with all the children brought many smiles to all watching.

I hope to hand over the cheque for £550.00 to Ty Hafan tomorrow ... can anyone get pictures of "Prepper Pig" before then - preferably shots of the pig being shot - as I want to show them what I go through for them!

Well - here are the photos of me handing over the cheque for £550.00 to the manager of Ty Hafan's charity shop in Cardigan. I had no photos of me in the pig cozzie from this year but took along so from previous years to show her

Well done John, a very worthy cause indeed.

Suggestion for next years fund raiser, maybe grab some literature and posters to put up so folks can see a bit more about them?

Just go in from my Physio Assessment ... my nice kind physio pointed out this fading bruise... it (along with the others) is outside my sight line and therefor I did not notice them... My wife says it looks worse than the photo shows...
I earned that dosh the hard way!

 

[Tony]

Good job John, thanks for the pics of the hand over, makes it more real!

 

[John Fenna]

Seeing the week old bruises should have made it more real for you - as it did for me!
Seeing the weak old leg did nothing for either of us, I guess......

Ah, John, who tried to kill you this year?

Im so sad I missed it; but I am happy in my new life. (Which is part of Bushcraft).

Not sure I will be able to attend in the forseeable future but maybe Wintermoot??
