Hello Sam I wouldn't worry, most people wouldn't commit themselves this side of Crimbo, and as they don't have to 'til Jan 15th.....
anyone else get an email saying it might not happen due to lack of interest?
As i am gutted if this is true
Yeah, got til the 15th but looking less likely that a full course could go ahead. On the one hand you have to wonder about planning to run a wild foods course in the dead of winter. Still on the other it does show what I am begining to suspect about some BCUK membership ...... lots of talk about wanting courses but when they are offered it proves to be just that, all talk! Companies will not put them selves out to offer good deals for BCUK if they suspect any risk, or time wasting. Since they were let down the last time Bushcraft Expeditions have now required a deposit up front. If none of the three courses they have offered this year are not filled who could blame them for then distancing themselves from BCUK. Other companies will do likewise. It's a shame but it's also avoidable. If people have no intention of doing courses they should stop asking Tony to organise them.
Hey Guys
I am still hopeful that people will book on last min, There is still 9 days left for people to join.
Worst case senario is that We all still have time booked off work in Feb for this so we could organize our own winter event, I know a couple of places for all year round camping that are bushcraft freindly
Anyone heading there from London?
