BEE WORKSHOP I'm sure you must have received Simon's e-mail regarding my Bee Workshop which will be at the end of November. The plan is to make a template first and then to use it to make as many bees as you want. Using cigarette paper, bamboo and rattan cane, you end up with a swarm of bees. These fly all at once branching off from one line of cotton. The effect is magic ! This is an opportunity to learn how to work with natural materials. You come away with at least 6 bees plus your template and, if you want, materials to make more. These little bees are international PRIZE winners ! see : grumpyoldgits.org/videos.aspx grumpyoldgits.org/houlgate.aspx So there you are: A super weekend get-together, Good fun, New skills and Great little kites. There are still some places left. If you don’t want to be disappointed, let Simon know soon that you want to come.

This will be a very SPECIAL workshop. Flying these bees is an absolute delight You will be learning the ancient craft of kite making, using techniques handed down over hundereds of years Missing this workshop would be a great shame So don't miss it book your place now

Do we have a day yet? I'm hoping it will be the Sunday, as I have to look after my children on Saturday 28 Nov.

Last weekend in November in the Saltdean Scout Hut. 42nd Brighton pack)
It is on both days, times will be about 9.00 - 5.00 Sat and 9.00 - 3.00 Sun as we need to be out of the hall for 3.30 on the Sunday so the scouts can use it.

Oh - I didn't realise it was the whole weekend. Is it possible to attend the Sunday only, as I have my children all day Saturday?

Can't see why not may be that you will need to do more at home to finish them off though. Simon
