Bernie Garland has been served with a life ban from BcUK, apparently without posting anything!

If you wish to communicate with him you can find him over on ...

http://www.bushcraftliving.com/

I for one will be joining him and deleting BcUk from "My favourites". How can a forum treat someone has raised hundreds of pounds for them, so badly?

I fully expect this post to be deleted and myself to recieve a ban also, so be it!

I think the ban should be lifted and an apology issued, as you say he has raised loads of money for this site. Such a pity for him and here really in my opinion.:sadwavey:

I'll quote an old saying, don't bite the hand that feeds you !!

Me and kids might come on saturday & sunday.

I want to do a kit test for the dark ages meet, so might look a bit wierder than useal.

The petrol station naerby to me has loads charcoal on sale, but it looks like we will coming by train so i don't think i can carry it. I can PM someone if they want to location.

IF we come we will be in a tent with tarps.

I want to do a kit test for the dark ages meet, so might look a bit wierder than usual.

Not a problem at all - the Meets are a perfect place to trial stuff, ask questions and get feedback ;) and I may have some new bits and pieces that I'll be trialling too.

Just to let everyone know - the raffle proceeds will be going to the charity 'Help for Heroes' and I'm sure that all will agree that it is a worthy cause to help support. The tickets will, once again, be £1 (one GBP) and only those who are 18 years of age or older will be able to buy tickets (same rules as last time :D ).

I'll be trying out my wool tunic as well, so I'll be looking a bit daft in the evening too :D

Was going to make some trousers as well, have you? what material, linen?
