Hands On Day 2015
Calling all Woody-folk!
You are cordially invited to the 9th Annual Coppice Group Hands on Day which will be held on Saturday, 4th July, 2015 at the Fernhurst Furnace.
This year there will be a slightly more competitive tone with activities which may include anything from stake tying to chainsaw-boot whanging to deerskittles to a catapult range.
The good food, good company, banter and barter come as standard.
For those of you who have not visited before, the clue is in the name; it is an opportunity to get some hands on time and try out a wide variety of different activities, check out the link below for a flavour of the event.

Please note that you don’t need to be a member of the SSCG to share an activity or technique; we are extremely happy to have craftsmen from other areas sharing their skill, just let me know who and what!
The one change for this year is that visitors must do something, anything, at least one thing to get their ‘free lunch’!
The event is open to any and all, with camping available from Friday evening through to Sunday, all we ask for in advance is an idea of numbers for catering purposes.
For a map, please follow the link below:
So, spread the word and R.S.V.P. to John Sinclair at jdsinclair2013@gmail.com
