May as well kick this off... 
A few of us had a small meet at the weekend and we discussed the details for the 3rd NE meet and have decided on the following dates:
The dates will be Friday 9th - Sunday 11th of September at Haddo House (same as last place)
DATES UPDATED AND CONFIRMED
We have a few other things planned for this meet including pine pitch glue, camp craft, charcloth making(?), birch oil, more traps.
If you have any suggestion on what else we can try please feel free to shout and im sure we can work it out.

For the workshops or whats for on show:
Net Making - I can show you how to make the needle if anyone wants to do that, which will take a bit of time to carve, but you will need one for the net making so if you dont fancy making one they can be picked up off the internet fairly cheaply.
The making of the net is pretty easy to do once you get into the swing of it and is different from the style shown on many website where you hang the line between 2 trees/posts.
If you have your own string (garden twine etc) please bring it along, I will see if I can get a large spindle of the stuff next time I am at Tesco.
Camp Craft - We will hopefully be setting up a large group table which will hopefully act as a kitchen area. If time is on our side we can show the table and bench that we made at Bennachie, a couple of chairs, one that was shown to me by Eric Methven at the Moot.
Shelter Building - If our old shelters are still standing we can carry on with them or demonstrate another lean-to. We are currently planning a Bush Teepee for a group shelter.
Group Pot - We may arrange another group pot and we will put up a shopping list if we are going ahead with that.
