**Neanderthal** · 04-10-2007, 09:22

Not to sound too keen or anything but what are the dates for next years Summer Bushmoot?

Just trying to get in first with booking holidays at work.

Thanks
Stu

**Matt Weir** · 04-10-2007, 12:56

Whoa Stu, that is keen

**Pablo** · 04-10-2007, 18:35

It's been at the same time same location for the last two years. Perhaps the same next year?

**Tony** · 12-10-2007, 16:18

Sorry guys, missed this before

The Moot is on the 1st - 5th Aug 2008

**giancarlo** · 12-10-2007, 16:32

Bummer.. already been warned I might not be able to go (leaving the wife with a what will be a 4 month old)..
But the 5th August is our 2nd wedding anniversary... that won't go down well!

Perhaps if i start working on her now i might whittle her down but when it comes time to book

Cheers
Carlo

Sir, Step away from the knife

**AndyW** · 13-10-2007, 22:26

I can't believe it's the first week of August and not the last week of July. Gutted.

No way (at least in the current job

) can I take the first week of any month off.

Ha ha ha, Tony - I love you!
I had thought that it would be the end of July again, in which case I'd have to bow out with a wedding in Cornwall (we could just have made it for the sunday evening, but in suits and posh frocks it would have been frowned upon, unless I could convince a lot of people that it was a new Bushy fashion statement).

But now I don't have to make any excuse!

See you there

I am a bit tempted.... I might be brave enough by then to come along and meet all
you axe-wielding maniacs from the internet

Why wait till next year when there are smaller meets going on once a month not that far from you. With just as much skill sharing, if not more than a big moot.

**Jodie** · 14-10-2007, 11:54

Good point, but I think in a small group I'd be more of a draw on resources because I
don't have much experience. I think if people are having small meets they might
prefer to get on and do stuff rather than have to accommodate the new girl all the
time.

Plus I think I'd feel more comfortable in a more formal setting. Bushcraft is startling
enough without doing it beyond my comfort zone

**Wayne** · 14-10-2007, 12:46

The point of Bushcraft is sharing info and developing our skills. You shouldn't wait till next year to get out and start making new friends. There are planty of smaller meets organised throughout the year.

The first week of August works well for me.

**Jodie** · 14-10-2007, 13:38

No quite right, I will be doing some more stuff between now and then, not just
reading about it on the forum - honest

I just like to take things at my own pace really... am chilled

**Gailainne** · 14-10-2007, 16:20

Jodie

I'm s.orry (will they bloody fix that thing already) but I think "google" is perhaps slightly more important than you have indicated in your sig, I admit air and water are important, but google last

in your case...naaa

**Jodie** · 14-10-2007, 18:31

Ah well, it seems everyone's a critic today

**fred gordon** · 14-10-2007, 18:54

Great news for me

Never been to one before as its such a long way from here.

However, its in the diary for now

Yipeeeeeeeeeeee

I can go to the moot and the CLA

Ian

**Toadflax** · 15-10-2007, 13:20

Good to have the dates in advance. I certainly hope to be there.

BTW, are there any dates yet for a Spring Moot (or even a Winter one)?

I'm also interested in local events - I know Jason offered me an invitation to the Bucks meets when I joined the forum earlier this year but, perhaps a bit like Jodie (no offence meant)

, I'm a bit slow in coming forward (and family committments mean that weekends are often busy) but I'd like to meet up with some of you like minded folk.

The Wilderness Gathering was good but a bit lonely if you're not too good at striking up conversations with strangers!

**Jodie** · 16-10-2007, 17:51

None taken

Ed · 18-10-2007, 22:10

Ed

**rik_uk3** · 20-10-2007, 17:11

Any 'Stars' coming in 08 like Mors? If so, me and Luke will be there

**Timinwales** · 20-10-2007, 17:28

I'll be there,

**cgait** · 21-10-2007, 21:27

jus got my confirmation i got those days off which means im gonna get there....unless something ungodly stops me hahaha

Ed · 22-10-2007, 05:10

But the 5th August is our 2nd wedding anniversary... that won't go down well!

You could always come down a few days early and hang around with us lot and get back home for the 5th..... it would be great if you could make it for a day or two.

**TallMikeM** · 22-10-2007, 13:24

Sorry to hear about that. I hope the coming year is a better on for you. Hopefully I will make this moot aswell, God knows I've been wanting to get to one for a few years now, but I was over in Germany, and this year i had the transition to civilian life to make, so I just couldn't get the time off work to go. I will go this coming year though!

**SOAR** · 22-10-2007, 14:45

I will be there this time I missed out on the last one.

Simon.

**Bigman** · 23-10-2007, 15:27

I will be there as well, very much enjoyed my first one this year.

I did absolutely nothing and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I should have said, i know in my head and some other people know.

YES, we're flying Mors over again to spend some time with us at the Moot and a few other things. It was great having him last year and I'm really looking forward to having him next year

**Womble** · 23-10-2007, 15:49

yay for Mors!
