Visit to Richard Findley for the day , any interest ?

[Blister]

Hello forumites

Been in communication with Richard Findley

An am trying to put together a day at Richards workshop

As Richard earns his living by turning this will be a paying event ( to keep a roof over his head ) and the amount payable will be dependent on numbers attending ,

So as it early days I need to find out if anyone would like to attend , Richards workshop is in Leicestershire
LE18 2FB

Also A poll to answer a few questions

Hi Blister,

I have voted for paying and going during the week. Before confirming, I would want to know how many are going. Too few and it could be too expensive; too many and the day may not be of value to each individual.

Do you see it as a day's tuition, a day's demonstration by Richard, or just a long chat over coffee etc?

As it is 240 mile round trip for me, it will get quite pricey unless I can get something positive out of the day.

A good idea in principle - hope it can be made to work in practice.

Mike . Its early days yet
This post is to see how many would like to attend , when I have an idea of the numbers wanting to attend this will decide the price each attendee will be required to pay , Richard has a small workshop so he will not be able to cater for 40 / 50 people

Also another thought , If anyone from the southeast wants to go we could go in my van , it seats 6 people and we could split the fuel costs

Same could apply for people elsewhere ? North / west / East etc

Richard is very accommodating and has lots of experience along with doing Club demo's , He also sells his very good quality sand paper and other bit and bobs

Lets see how many want to attend then look at whats going to be done on the day

Cheers

I`m always up for a Jolly & a workshop tour.

Having seen Richard demonstrate quite a few times now,I`m certain it would be a most enjoyable day.

Please count me in.


Cheers.

This is something I would really like to do. My Dad lives about 30 miles away so I could camp there and make a day trip.
I assume this will be next year? There is no way I could commit to anything this year.
It would be useful to have a ball-park figure for the day so I could start some financial planning though.

would like to go if its not to far so where is it please?

If we're talking next year I'd be in for a day out.

I voted for a weekday and willing to pay. No-one can expect the man to potentially lose a days work without some kind of compensation. Funds are pretty tight at present for me, so I will need a bit of advance warning of costs so I can start putting cash away.
