Wood thingy show in Leicestershire

[lurker]

I guess most folks will be off to the big show down near Bath this W/E.

I've been away from home for quite a while so will not venture very far for the next few weeks. However there is a wood based show at Beacon hill (3 miles from home) on Bank holiday Monday.

Love to go but working.

I went last Year with the Wife and we both enjoyed it, I seen Pete walking around although he may not have seen me, also seen Bean on his stall, well worth a visit.

Hi Martin

Was going to e-mail you & ask. Shame you can't make it but those crisps don't make themselves!!

Anyone know if Bean will be there this year?
Have not seen or heard from him for a while.

Anyway, if anyone is going we could have a meet up and also a follow on with a session at my place ????

I'd love to go but will be in Yorkshire. I've been the last couple of years and it's been a nice old-fashioned day out. Very enjoyable.

[lurker]

Sorry !

I'm going, found out yesterday that I was "allowed" a day off... Having been nice and let SWMBO have a lie in and a car boot trawl this morning on her own!

So, to recognise me - you should look for a guy in a leather hat and chainmail waistcoat... You'll spot it, and go "WTF is he wearing that for?" and then the penny will drop (I hope!) Seeing as I haven't poster WIZER the money - hope to soon sir, for a badge

Planning on making it a full day of attendance if possible (i.e. if I can drag my butt out of bed early enough!)

See you there, if you're going folks.

 

[Mailman14]

Well, I went...

Did anyone else go?

Spent up, but stil carrie don walking round. Well worth the effort - the Axe men were hilarious! Got in about 10.07 a.m. and left after closing time... I really must get an alarm set for this type of day out. Really enjoyed walking round trying my hand at basket weaving (twice)m willow whistle making (two attempts), seeing an "Alaskan mini-mill" in operation - they even set it up especially for me! plenty of tool stores to look at and cough over the prices... (£45.00 for a FORK?), got two gouges for my mini lathe - £2.00 each - think that's todays' bargain. Carvers showing their stuff off, turners, pole lathes by the handful, hurdle / fence making weaving out of hazel / willow - great to see. British Trust for Conservation Volunteers may have a new member quite shortly.

TIP:
If you don't like the smell of lavender, DON'T try a lavender biscuit...
