**********************
John and Val Lord will be running an all day flint knapping workshop on the second day of the BushMoot (sat 29th) at Methyr Mawr this year.

Details of the BCUK BushMoot can be found here: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=13133

Many of you will recognise John Lord from The flint knapping scenes in the TV series Ray Mears 'Bushcraft' on BBC2 and as the instructor of the Primitive Technology & Ancient Skills courses at Woodlore.

John and Val are recognised as some of the worlds most skilled flint knappers

The class is limited to 15 people and there will be a small additional charge of £11.60 per person to cover the costs of materials and travel expenses as John and Val live at the other end of the country and as there is no natural flint near the moot site they will be bringing it all with them!

Please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to attend due to the limited class size places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis

if there is sufficient interest we may arrange a second all day course for the Sunday

Ah sorry I missed a vial piece of information there :togo:

To register for a place you need to post here saying you want a place (this allows me to keep a list of who is going) and either send a cheque made out to 'Bushcraft Media Ltd' to:

BushcraftUK
The Old Mill
SA44 5YW

OR

Pay via PayPal to shop@bushcraftuk.com with 'flintknappingmoot' in the subject.

Obviously you need to actually have a ticket for the moot in order to attend the workshop.

I am very interested in this. I will send separate payments via PayPal for the knapping and the moot.

Looking forward to it. :)

Yep, you're on the course, I'm not sure of the exact number but I know there's still a bit of space for pre booked people. I know that there's people turning up at the event that would like to go on it but those that have prepaid get in first.

If there's enough people for the Sunday John would probably run another one as well :D
