Regular West Wales meet-ups?

[John Fenna]

At the West Wales meet up at Gellie it was suggested that we make it a regular meet up - every other month, last weekend of the month was one suggestion.
It was also suggested we think about building semi-permanent structures 'a la bushcraft' for future meets.

What do folk think of this idea?

Who would want to come?

You only learn through practice and regular meet ups give regular practice/knowledge sharing, a chance to show off your latest project/build, be inspired by others, learn from others etc etc etc ...

Lets hear your thoughts!

When shall we plan the next one? 13-15 Apr is good for me!

Do we go back to Gellie or does anyone know somewhere different?

Yup,
I'd be up for some regular visits and I only have to suffer the shifts for a few more months. Another project I'm involved with mentioned building a roundhouse a few years ago but nothing has come of it - is this what you mean by "Semi-permanent structures"?

Gellie is a great place and Keith is a real character.

[Greg]

Surely more of us should be able to make this meet possible!
Why is it every other area has regular meets, there are quite alot of us down here so lets get these moots up and running and make it a regular thing, its obviously the best way to learn different aspects of the subject!
I know there is a South Wales meet but thats not until May!
Come on Guys!!

 

[Greg]

I give up, I'll leave it to someone else.

Sorry to the guys who were interested!

 

[John Fenna]

Hey Greg - don't give up!
Go ahead with it even if it is just thee and me: I am sure it will be worthwhile and if we put up some interesting posts about how it went others will be up for future events. I may even be able to get some "lurkers" interested...
I would have run with getting this going myself but I am inundated with work at the moment and can't give the time to thinking and planning I would like to!

Come on guys - -support Greg in this!

Keep with the program Greg.
My shift pattern affects 3 weekends out of four, and other folks will be even higher than that. I'm being made redundant in the summer so I'll have the time but maybe not the money.

Good Luck

OK fellas,

I shouldn't have said what I said, I was in a pretty bad state yesterday having found out that my best friend 'Nunuq - my dog' has possibly got Meningitis and its touch and go!

Anyway I will try and get hold of Gellie - somehow - their number isn't in the book.
Is Apr 13 - 15 still good.

 

[Ogri the trog]

Greg,
Their number should be on here http://www.gellie-liahona.co.uk/index.html somewhere.But I think I remember Keith saying to just pitch up and see him sometime to mention that you are there.

Thanks Pete,

I have just phoned them and waiting for a reply.
Its a shame you can't make it fella!

 

[Greg]

OK I have spoken to Keith at Gellie, he is happy with us using the site for the w/end, 13-15 April.

I will be getting there between 11+12 O'clock.
Whoever wants to join me I'll see you there!

 

[John Fenna]

I will be along early evening - working that fri! - lets hope for a dry weekend!
John
