Bow drill workshop

[Povarian]

the workshop is on sunday the 18th of december 2005 because I'm in Dartmoor on the 11th - all timings info the same

Bother! The 11th I could have made (with the lad), but it's not looking good for the 18th - gotta be social elsewhere.

Just wondering how many are going on Sunday and how many are staying over night.

Cronos

There's always one cronos.............and you're both of them
You could have stayed and set things up ready for us

Just over a week to go till the workshop.

The cost of camping at the farm will be £4 per person for the sunday night. There is one toilet and shower, so we'll have to wait our turn for those who want a shower.
The local village pub have said they'll do a simple menu for those who want to eat in the evening. Pie and chips or Fish and chips that type of thing. Nothing too fancy just 2 or 3 choices we can pick from (no I don't know exactly what will be on offer ) but it will be as mentioned simple fare.

Timings then

(Cronos) Sunday the 18th December 2005
Farmer Gow's Activity Farm - Appleton Oxfordshire

If everyone can be there for 10am we'll have a quick coffee and start at 10.30 quick break for some stew at 12- ish and a couple or 3 more hours in the afternoon. There's no definate finish time but we'll finish in time to get tents up (for those who are staying) If people want to go home staright away after the workshop that's fine, or if people want to just stay for some food at the pub and then shoot off no problem either

Can people who are staying for the camping and/or meal let me know asap please as the pub wants a rough idea of numbers to cater for and the farmer wants to know how many will be camping - Thanks

Please bring your knives and some cord. I'll supply the drills and hearths. Any questions please ask.
Looking forward to it

[Daniel Edwards]

Thanks

 

[Buckshot]

I'll be there and eating

 

[Grez]

I will also be there but won't be camping or eating (got to drive home)

See you all there.

I have to work 12 hour nights on the friday and sunday, but if I can cram in enough sleep in credit, I'll try to come along.
Don't worry about stew or other eats, nor camping. If I can make it, it'll be a flying visit but one that will kindle( ) a skill that I've been after for a long time.

Cheers

PS I should add that if I don't make it, its because I've fallen asleep somewhere So don't wait.

 

[jdlenton]

Thanks for the replies folks.
I'll put down for about 10 for eating in the evening then.

If you can all get there for around 10am that would be good.

Cheers

Hi Guys, unfortunately my Nan has been caught up in this nightmare up at hemel, depending on when she is allowed home i'll be going up there with my mum to help put things back in there place. The house is in one piece but there is a bit of mess where things have fallen off the walls and shelves that need fixing back on.

Fingers crossed I can get up there on Friday, but the police have cordoned the whole place off to stop looting etc so may not be till Sunday on Monday till we are allowed into the area.

If I don't make it I appologise.

 

[Bright Ember]

I'll be there Nick, see you Sunday at 10.00. Would love to camp but have got to work next morning so not possible this time.
