Jason, I've put in the Snug gits workshop ready for your lecture and slides.
Please remember that as we have seen Mr Mears at Wycombe Swan, expectations on your presentation are very high!
Silverback,
for the offers.... Please do not feel under pressure to present all the prep sessions. My wife has put her name forward for the pheasant one.
Bardster has kindly put his name forward to do a bow making demonstration. This is not a workshop as it takes three days to get a good result on a blank. I have seen one of his demos and they are very interesting.
Lupus, thanks too for your offer.
I am trying to ensure that those who have kindly offered their services over the weekend do at least get two or three minutes socialising!

What time are you planning winding it up Swyn?
I am working at the clinic in Kent on the sat and coming back late. Hell, I will try and do it by car and get some camp out time, even if I arrive at 1 in the morning. If not its up with the lark and see you guys for breakfast.
Rod-the-Elder
if I make it any one fancy a poultice workshop?
If so I will post some notes and a list of needs.

Hi sandsnakes,
With busy week ends like this I am usually left fumbling around in the dark........So I would LIKE to finish by 19.00 hrs (that's seven o'clock) on Sunday 6th, but one never knows!
Regards,
Swyn.

Would love to attend Swyn. With regards to Bootstraps message (hi Bob) I would be happy to do a demo on "How to make a night watchmans chair" out of an old scaffold board or similar, can bring all hand tools (electrical) do not need to use chainsaws (case your worried Swyn about safety) This would be a watch only demo can't really let anyone loose with me Black an Decker but i think its something not seen at one our meets before. Demo takes about 55 minutes tops.
Cheers Pitkin, I was thinking about cutting the board into suitable lengths before I came (just tell me how long) and then setting to it bushcrafty style with an axe. What power tools were you thinking of using
I would like to come if poss.............
Certainly Pete, but remember it's a family show
So leave the pretty dresses at home, OK!

Will there be some way in which those of us who are not in a position to help with classes can contribute to the event - even if it it just general duties or bringing some provisions.

Good morning everyone.
Here comes the hard bit for me as I am not a business man!
The cost.........
I have talked to various people and the general opinion is as follows;
Weekend £20.00 for adults, that's £10.00 per day
Children under 16; £2.50 per day.
Children under 10, free.
Now, I can do paypal to make things easier for those who like to do that sort of thing.
Please PM me for this facility and give me the correct things such as home address real name and a contact number. I will then give you the relevant details.
Cheers Swyn.

In answer to your question dgcalvert.
Firstly, thank you for your kind offer. I'm sure that out of the many jobs needing to be done you will find one to keep yourself occupied fruitfully! Even general duties.
Don't worry about provisions though.
Cheers from Swyn.

now now!
For those who don't know the site here are some answers to questions that have been asked.
There are four flush loos a pissoir and a hand basin with soap
There is a washing area with a sink and cold drinking water. A kettle too for washing up. Also washing up liquid.
There is a FIRST AID STATION and several people attending are first aiders, also there always seems to be a Doctor or three lurking! Even so please be careful.
There is covered space if the weather is HORRIBLE!
OPEN FIRES are permitted, as long as they are in the containers provided. There is also plenty of firewood. Please see if you can share these fire containers, say, between six or eight people as we only a limited number to go around....I think that there were ten at the last count and I have some more to make.
I have no problems with little hobo stoves as long as they are not left unattended. Similar with other cooking methods.
The unattended issue is really aimed at wandering children and the possibility of burns.
There is plenty of space for tents, hammocks, bashas and other types of sleeping arrangements.
I hope this helps

Paypal payment received with thanks dgcalvert.
Look forward to meeting you.........Just one little question though.........I remember reading a post on this forum saying that you play the Scottish pipes (am I correct there?). If so would you consider bringing those and playing a lament or two? There is a tremendous echo in a part of the site which may favour such sounds.....Please do not feel that you are under any obligation though.
Please let me know either way.
Regards from Swyn.

I'll see how I feel - I haven't played much this year, but I normally get called on to play a few tunes at midnight in our street at New Year so I'll have to do a bit of practice for then, though they are normally a bit jollier than a lament. However, I do play Flowers of the Forest - the last time was at my Father's funeral just over a year ago - and I'd certainly be willing to have a go, though I suspect my eyes may get a little damp...so I think that you can assume that I will bring the pipes along if you'd like me to.
I could do a reveille early on Sunday morning...

This is a message to all intending to pay by paypal.
I'm sorry to have forgotten this but must put it into the equation, otherwise I will be grossly out of pocket.
Paypal take a fee and this results in me having to charge roughly 50p extra in every £10.00
eg; A weekend ticket (two days) for one adult will cost £20.91
Would all those who are intending to pay this way please add this little bit onto their total.
THANK YOU for being understanding.
Swyn.
ps Thanks benp1! S
pps Thank you geoff, reveille may be just wacky enough to get the day on it's feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! S
