You will have noticed from the newletter round up that there are a lot of wood fairs happening around the country at this time of year.   These are a really great opportunity to get out and see what everyone is getting up to in the ‘woody’ world.  Most of the fairs will have a nice balance of traditional crafts and demonstrations together with the more up to date commercial and equipment exhibitors.  They nearly all cater for families with lots of exhibits and entertainment aimed at kids from face painting to bushcraft.

Judith will be representing SWOG  at Wild About Wood on the 14th and 15th  September 2013 at Yorkshire Arboretum, Kew and Castle Howard,

Do come along and say hello, it’s a great opportunity to meet up and put faces to the members who contribute to the forum and website.  If you have anything from your wood you would like to display or any product you could sell then please bring it along with you.  ( You just need to  let either of us know what you will be bringing  beforehand so we can try arrange space on the stand)
