Please may I have some details of the date and time of the event as if I can assist with sandwiches etc., I would like to help if I can. Also I am unfamiliar with Dalbeattie so will need assistance with directions.
Who do I need to make contact with re: helping with this event?
Regards.

A quick reminder about wood prep tomorrow. There is a lot of wood at the workshop that needs converting so if you’re available come along between 1pm and 4pm tomorrow, Sunday 2nd. Bring your chainsaws and PPE.
I’ll be going over to Barwhinnock House for about 1:30pm if you’d prefer to meet me there.
Phil H has been taking part in a show at the Harbour Cottage Gallery in Kbt recently. Also taking part was Jane Fraser from somewhere Stranraer way who is interested in the Club. Is there anyone who lives to the West of CD who would share driving, petrol etc. with Jane ? You don’t have to come from Stranraer, anywhere to the West may help.
Contact Phil H and I’ll give you Jane’s contact info. Thanks
The first of the month seems to have come around quick and there’s a lot to do!
On the cards for tomorrow:
1. chainsaw work on the huge pile of logs outside (if the weather is really inclement we might do it inside)
2. making a new rack for the wood blanks
3. cutting blanks on the bandsaw
4. sealing the blanks
5. collecting a sycamore trunk from Dalbeatie
So lots to do, hope you can make it! Bring your chainsaws and PPE.
Don’t forget tomorrows demonstration by Andrew Hall – A not to be missed demo.
Starts at 10am – bring your own packed lunch
So it looks like there’s lots of wood prep to do tomorrow. The plan is as follows:
Meet at 1pm at the workshop, aiming to be finished by 4pm.
If you have them, bring your chainsaws and PPE. If not, don’t worry there’s plenty of other work to be done.
See you all there!

Can anyone remember the name of the waterproof finish that’s really good; it was mentioned at David Lowe demo. It’s for a towel rail, so has to be able to withstand damp … Christine
