There's going to be some great stuff going on there, as usual it will be based around workshops, John Lord is coming again, Mors, Patrick and a few others as well as highly skilled members sharing their knowledge.

This is going to be a bit more than last year cost wise, I've got to cover more expenses this year, but, as usual, it will be at cost, this is a non profit event.

It's also been extended again, nearly everyone wanted a week so this is the compromise! It's going to be an absolutely fantastic few days and as usual it's family orientated so the kids are welcome, there's lots for them to do there.

I’ll get up more info soon ;) Book the dates with work etc now though!

Excellent..... I missed him last year.... had a good chat with val but didn't have the time to do the knapping.

He should be there for two days this year so that will be two one day workshops for up to 15 people each.

Hi everyone,

This is probably a question for Tony, as mentioned Mors is not attending as a celeb but would he be prepared to sign a copy of his book?

I wouldn't want to hassle the man over something trivial but it would be nice if he could, after all he is a bit of a celeb in our circles :D

I am sure he would be happy to sign a copy, he is an extremely friendly guy (and extremely modest)

just ask politely and at an appropriate time.

Thanks for that Stuart.

My copy's a bit battered but that's because it's been read some many times and tends to sit in my pack when out and about.

Cheers

Moduser


He'll probably be happier signing it all the more because it is battered with use.

There's a BushMoot section going up dedicated to the Moots, I was going to put up a separate site but I've changed my mind, I'll redirect the domains to the new pages. We'll use the forum for another week odd and then the info will be on the new part of the site.

The dates are July 28th to 1st Aug ...it's going to be a great few days :D

If we have approx 3,000 members and only 1% attend, that is still 300 people. Will the area support that sort of number? If the moot is very popular, and a limit has to be placed on numbers, ie 1000 people want to come, how will allocation of places be made?
