New Year Meet at Swyn's

[swyn]

For those who are coming, here's an update.

I've chopped another truck load of firewood and the venison is now hanging ready. I am hoping for a dry weekend, I don't mind the cold but could do without the damp!

I hope the sale goes well in raising money for the Help for Heroes fund.
I'm looking forward to meeting those who have not been to this Hoot before.

Swyn.

P.S. Now I have to get some hook knives for spoon carving.

Thanks for a great weekend

After trying Steve's Dave Budd spoon knife I arrived home thinking how do I explain that I now NEED one to SWMBO

Result, she said that I should get both sizes as and I could have them as my birthday present

I think arriving back with a spoon or two for her helped.

It was nice to meet some new people and see others again.

Once again thanks for all the time and effort put in by everyone.

Cheers

Oh, and just to underline how bad my memory is, that duch oven with the griddle lid, where did it come from again

Just to say thanks to Swynn, Rod and Andy for a very enjoyable weekend. Lovely weather, great food and even better company. I'll post the very few pics I took once I get round to downloading them.

Looking forward to the next one

Glad to help you out with a good spoon knife Ian, you won't regret getting the set.

Andy managed to make a bow for his son Josh and it only took him a couple of hours to make it.

I did not get any pictures of the Atl atl so if anyone has any please post them up.

Here is a link to the rest of my pictures of the weekend. http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc177/seorasgma/Swyns Feb 10/

Just done a tot up from the kit sale: we raised £115 for Help for Heroes. Cheers :You_Rock_

Many thanks to all for buying lots of used, tired, knackered & manky kit again. We raised £15 more than last year: so cheers for digging deep when times are tough, its very much appreciated. I will send a cheque off this week.

cheers

The bows are superb fun and looking forward to getting out with them again. Thanks Seoras! Great pics too.
