Silverback,
I wont be travelling between Wales and Reading by then (being made redundant), but if theres a way to take up your kind offer, it would be great. I know there are probably as many ways of preparing rabbit as there are folk who do it - but for those who have never seen it done, I might be able to offer some pointers. If I can get any myself, I'd want to do a demo early in the moot as theres no refridgeration on site and things might get a bit (ahem) high!

I am meeting up with the Bucks boys this weekend and I know they will almost certainly be attending so I will try and get something sorted for you Ogri. I will give you an update after this weekend - I am sure we can sort it one way or another :)
 
Hi Stuart

I don't know if Kevin (Fenlander) is coming along this year but I will run some Bowdrill lessons again and the Hand drill if the maestro Rich59 needs help.

Willing to help out on anything else, though I would like to build a bow this year.

Cheers

George

Unfortunately I will not make it this year as I am teaching at the "World Scout Jamboree 2007". I hope everyone has a really great time though!

Put me down for a couple of afternoons please stuart (and if I'm drinking with sargey or jdlenton the night before, make sure its in the afternoon ) .....

I'd like to do a couple of workshops this year rather than the usual trapping/snaring lecture ... so snare making and setting (including a walk to show good places to set) .... and either a trap trigger workshop or net making .... either or

If you want me to do net making, then I'll have to limit the places available and ask people to bring a ball of garden twine.

Sorry guys and gals but I'm going to have to cancel this as it looks like we wont be able to come to the moot :( I Hope you all have a fun time, and i will try to pop down for the day if I can just to say 'Hiya' :D

I would be happy to do a piece on leather carving but I dont have enough tools, swivel knives etc to make it a practical for any more that 1 or 2 people. Let me know if you think there would be any interest and ill bring what I have along.

Cheers

I could run an 'effective sleeping techniques' workshop.

Just come and stand by my hammock from 2 am til about 6am and watch a master at work......

Seriously though, I wouldn't like to say I'm skilled enough at anything to be able to do a workshop, but props to all those giving up their time to do them!

Any chance somebody could lead a sea-shore foraging session? Not something I've ever tried.

I have some knowledge of edible goodies found in and around rocky shores but have little knowledge of what's to be found on sandier and the estuary habitats; after a look at the map these seem to predominate at Merthyr Mawr? Limpet stir fry anyone!!

Re foreshore collecting, a couple of issues came up last year - there are big, fast tides in the area, and the question of pollution. Also the coast is quite a trek. Having read around it I think most of the pollution issue only applies if you are living on the stuff all year round.

Just to keep everyone in the frame Eric and I are working on combining his leathercrafting workshop and my Leathercarving demo together. Details to follow - (when we figure them out)

Id like to do leatherwork, seashore foraging and bow drills too.

I dont really have any skills to teach of my own, other than car boot bargain hunting and haggling, and we would need a car boot for that.....
