Hi all, putting the feelers out to get a little more serious about the workshop day.
Where would everyone sit for a Saturday in 6 weeks time?

It may need to go longer to cover a few of the things listed? A fantastic idea....I wouldn't be able to attend anything like this this year, but if it becomes an annual event I'd fly over for it ☺ Thanks FE, when you say 'longer' are you referring to the event as a whole in order to 'cover' workshop topics? If you were, I had a mate say the same, but i was considering more entry level discussions into these subjects, that could initiate and stimulate further conversations, education, and or, future workshops where part 2 of said topic could continue, and or folk end up talking in the free time to learn more. I was hoping for a question and answer time in or after every session also. Or, more of a general overview. In my mind, with a whole bunch of topics i just cannot see how we could have enough time as it was to cover even 1 topic tbh. The other thing too is, by having 4 topics that differ from each other some people might not be interested in certain topics, but come back in future or still very much enjoy the event because 1 subject interested them. Open again to thoughts, prefer this to be an event brought together and orchestrated by a heap of people. I was talking about the event as a whole ☺ just a suggestion that there are 2 separate sides to prepping, one is being self sufficient and the other is your emergency activity. Self sufficiency covers the animal husbandry, food preservation, gardening, building side of it. Emergency activity covers the BOB, advanced first aid, communications, weapons etc side of it. Far too much to cover in a day but at least covering some of it would be a good starting point. Either way it's a great idea that could increase people's knowledge and encourage them to up the ante in their prepping or take on new things!

There is a lot to cover for sure In our experience the first meet is a meet and great and people talk about their preps and areas of expertise From this u can work out a programme of teaching and training That's the theory anyway 😜-ours still degenerate into beer good conversation and good company You'll be surprised at the level of skills and expertise u have amongst members

No problems if people can't do the drive for a day, at this stage I wouldn't push longer until we have a general idea of how things went.
How does Saturday Oct 21st or 28th, or Nov 4th sound for dates that are more suited to some people here?
