Curiosity go the better of me. Can anyone report on what workshops are on offer so far at the bushmoot and who's leading them?

Thanks to Mesquite for pointing me to the right forum,lol.

Wow there are loads to choose from! What to do and when that is the question?

I'm wondering when some of the activities are taking place and how to organise the three of us. I have two twelve year old boys who have been making there own stills animations and the three of us would be interested in the photography session/s. If there are spaces that would be great.

Before I mention whats on offer to them, are there any activities that the boys would not be able to take part in?

Have fun be happy

Sorry all but Due to unforeseen circumstances (illness) the Butanise Bow workshop is being cancelled :-( Sorry about that. The Talk on the Noom & Man tracking is also being cancelled. There will still be plenty of tracking workshops though :D

I forgot to say that we've got a basket maker coming, she's going to do some small willow baskets so everyone that does the workshop should be able to leave with a finished product :D There will be a small cost of about £4 for the materials.

I'm looking forward to this one :D

The knapping is up in the air a bit, i'm waiting to hear about a couple of people that might be doing it for us. The Lords are a bit occupied with a few other things this year (such as babies being due) I'm sure we'll get it sorted and if we do it will be on the day and yes, about the same price as last year.

Tony,

a couple of people have asked me to give a chat on Hunter-Gather diet in the modern world. So sling that one up as well.
