Are we any closer to a date for this?

 .... I'm about to start a (first) trial wheel-build with a book in one hand ... but expect to need the full knowledge of Auntie C to achieve perfection.

If anyone woud find it easier to pop down to the SICRUT BWNCWR in Monmouthshire, I'm happy to offer some guidance too.

IF it's still likely this Sunday then it looks like the weather might beat us (we've escaped any real snow here in Stratford-upon-Avon, just a mild dusting, but it would seem foolhardy to travel any distance just in case)

I had thought I was going to be away for this, but just noticed that a date doesn't actually seem to have been fixed yet.

Am definitely interested in doing this.

Should be available most likely weekends in January

The trains between Swindon and London are all messed up over Christmas, so that's iffy.
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.
