macmillan charity workshop open day 2015

[richarnold]

Hi folks.
I have been checking the calendar, and have been thinking of repeating last years open / charity day, and Sunday the 7th of June is looking favorable. Any comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
For those of you who did not get to attend last year, this is a link to last years event.

Cheers Richard, and Kate.

I will be there again, I have some more tools, I say some more it was a bag full I left in the boot last time!

I'd love to - but a 600 mile round trip is a little too far.

I think the usual Kent suspects may be there if I can get the day off....good time was had by all last time...

Cheers

Jimi

 

[AndyT]

It was well worth the trip last time so all being well I shall be there again this time.

I'd love to - but a 600 mile round trip is a little too far.

.....and a 1200 mile round trip even less feasible. But an excellent cause to support.

This looks so tempting that I am in. Now just to organise time off and how to contribute.

My first Grandchild is due that day, but as my daughter lives in Nottingham, I will be heading in the right direction.
I'll just tell her to hold on for a bit longer ( or hurry up).

Looking forward to it already Richard, gutted I missed last year.

There will be something fancy from me to pop in the donations bin

Richard, can you use some boxwood in various diameters? I have some spare I can bring along. Probably most use for turners, but there's lovely figuring in it.

Hi Nick. I think it is fair to say we all love a bit of boxwood , so I would think it will be gratefully received.
Cheers, Richard

With a very generous offer of a lift from AndyT to get there I will also be attending again this year. Looking forward to it.

 

[Chrispy]

I hope to get there this year, I have a spare seat in the van if I can give anyone a lift (Wantage/A34)

I have just posted in the for sale section some wood that I will bring to this event, for-sale-hardwood-short-ends-off-cuts-and-bowl-blanks-t89218.html If anyone is interested let me know please.

 

[richarnold]

Hi folks.
This event is getting closer now so I thought I would wet a few appetites.
Put a small selection of the offerings on the bench this dinner time to tempt you in :lol:
Cheers, Richard

 

[AndyT]

I think an early start from Bristol is called for!

See you there.

Thinking about attending this year, anyone from London or surrounding areas fancy sharing a ride to make it slightly less costly?
