I unfortunately will not be able to attend as I am apparently busy doing odd jobs around the new house 
I will however be repointing the patio in front of the freshly prepared slab for the new Bucks Bushcraft Group Meeting House which arrives on the 13th - woohoo

Better do it right then as Jason will be round on the 14th to check!
Shame you can't make it mate, will have to have a proper catch-up soon.
I was asked by a probation officer to act as a chaperon for one of his clients when he visited Shropshire last weekend.....here's a photo of the dodgy geezer....
We had a good morning wandering around The Wrekin, an area with loads of bushcraft resources and time passed all too quickly by the time we'd put the world to rights. Not too many fungi evident up here this year....presumably due to the dry spell but this one looks like a Russula though I'd be happy if someone put me right. Thanks for your company Jason

Was hoping to get to this meet again but I have a meal on Friday night and a sofa being delivered some time on Saturday
Actually I could have probably worked around this but I 'm not that organised
Is the Christmas gathering still on the cards as we discussed at the last meet? the thread that was started hasn't really gone any further than the initial postings.
There was a lot of discussion about some time just after the new year, it would certainly help me get there if I had some idea of everyone's preference for dates. Obviously it depends on Swyn and his availability too :You_Rock_

Hi Bucks Bushcraft peeps.
I have arranged for two fresh pheasanst to be available to dress and eat on Friday if you want. I have also arranged for access elsewhere at 'dodgy' Jasons request to gather shelter material etc. There is a pond in this piece of woodland so ideas on water gathering/use may prove interesting. Also, possibly more fungus mushroon forays, if the cold has not shrivelled them by now.
As to the Christmas idea that's up to you folks. I still have a plan for after the festivities on the line of last years 'Moot', but need INPUT and INTEREST!!!! oh ...and a date
Looking forward to seeing those of you who can make it this weekend.
Cheers
Swyn.

Swyn,
I've pm'ed Jason about this weekend. Unfortunately can't make it but PaulW and me are certainly interested in Christmas Moot. Any date for us.
Perhaps a clear out of some kit will produce some ol' fashioned bartering after shiny new pressies take their place.

Ok folks. Since everyone is holding back I'm going to suggest the first weekend of the new year i.e. 5th & 6th Jan for the Christmas gathering. I will struggle with anything later as I'm moving house and I may be a little busy
So what does everyone think about that weekend? Would that be good for you Swyn? How about Jason? looking forward to your stories from the frozen north.

Hi folks.
The dates sugested have been discussed over this week end and the general opinion was very favorable. So shall we focus on 5th and 6th Jan?
The ideas put forward for the main workshops is that they will be simple and few to ensure that the subjects covered are comprehensive and enjoyable for those attending. Also to ensure that those kind enough to offer their services over the weekend will have time to socialise as well.
The important item is that this is intended to be a family event so those with wives and children will also be catered for.
Any other ideas will be gratefully received along with volunteers to help with the organisation over the two main days.
I would like to have another pit roast so re digging the fire pit and keeping the fire there is one job needed.
Cheers.
Swyn.

Hi All,
I can make that weekend and will be happy to take a tracking workshop. I could also do a workshop on making a bow saw if folks think that would be good. Swyn, I would need to have some ash saplings ideally. Don't worry if you don't have any that need thinning - I can get plenty from work
Let me know. Folk would need to provide their own saw blade and retaining bolts/pins/whatevercheers
