Anyone interested?

Could be a nice place to get together, camp and chat bows.

Website needs work, like a map or a location/find us page.
Maybe I'm being thick but by the time I'd scoured through 2 pages and still no location more specific than the South Downs Nation Park I gave up.

Hi Mark,   I will try to get along.  I saw you had posted this on the NFAS webboard, and have answered there too.  I am a little stave embarassed right now, but will have to go out harvesting soon if I can make it.......

Bob,
Should be just enough time to cut a stave, rough it out and dry it, assuming it's possible to dry anything at all during our "summer"!

I've just been contacted by the organiser. His wife has had twins. Though this is great news it means he's pretty tied up with double baby issues and has had to cancel. Still, it means we can all get together at the Holmbush shoot that weekend instead!

Mark,
I'll be down at the primitive meet tomorrow at the Magna Carta club. Are you going to be there?
