Looking forward to Saturday Richard. What time do you want us to arrive? Would you like me to get there a bit early and lend a hand?

Looking forward to Saturday Richard. What time do you want us to arrive? Would you like me to get there a bit early and lend a hand?

Hi, thats very kind of you. Hopefully we will have everything set up on Friday night, but I will be in early on Saturday, so turn up whenever you like. Lookingforward to meeting up with everyone.

 

[memzey]

Ok then. In that case I'll probably look to get there between 9-10 as last year. Will there be a table for donated items as before? If so I'll have a rifle around to see if there is anything I should bring.

 

[AndyT]

From Richard's opening post:

"Same format as in previous years. a selection of old tools, books, and other woodwork related items will be up for grabs. No set prices, you just make an anonymous donation of your own choice, and take what you want. If you feel like bringing anything along to add to the pile, please feel free to do so. We will be providing the usual BBQ, tea, coffees, and Cakes."

So yes, bring plenty and buy plenty - see you there!

 

[memzey]

Will do Andy! Did you get round to doing anything with that old saw I brought last time? I was half expecting a thread on how you brought it back to life at some point.

Once again, it was a wonderful day. Sunshine, good company, lots of amazing tools to admire and play with, lots of friendly people to natter to.
Huge thanks to Richard, Kate and everyone. An event on this scale doesn't happen without planning and hard work, which are much appreciated. I'm sure Richard will be along soon to announce the amount raised and that it will be an impressively big number.
