Just a quick update. The Day is booked for the 14th of March. Up to now we have two Workshop's being run. The first by Joe Mac, which will be a beginner's Workshop, then we will have a more advanced Workshop run by Stuart William's. I am still trying to find a Claw hammer teacher who could run a Workshop on the day, Any volunteer's ? I checked with the Pub last night and there is 1 more Room still available, but be quick i think it will go fast . Watch this space for any further update's :-)

	Buzzbomb says: 1/9/2015 9:48:03 AM That's great Eddie - what's the pub's address / times... or am I jumping the gun?
	alfiedog says: 1/9/2015 10:03:00 AM Good point Ivor ! The venue is the Wharf Tavern, Stalybridge , Cheshire. SK15 2HN. The day will start at 12 noon, this should give people who have any distance to travel enough time.
	keith49 says: 1/9/2015 10:53:41 AM Hi Alfie is there room for overnight camping at the pub? Cheers Keith
	alfiedog says: 1/9/2015 11:09:03 AM There is a big Gravel Car Park right next to the Pub, so it would be OK for a Camper Van :-)
	muzzlehatch says: 1/9/2015 3:29:10 PM A clawhammer workshop would be much appreciated!
	alfiedog says: 1/9/2015 3:47:47 PM What sort of level are we looking at here Phil ? I dont know anything about C/H. As a C/H player what would you appreciate in a Workshop ?
	Buzzbomb says: 1/10/2015 2:17:12 AM I've got my train tickets... just 5 mins from Stalybridge Stn. Google has address as: wharf tavern 79 caroline st stalybridge sk15 1pd (different postcode!) realalehunter.co.uk/pubs/wharf...alybridge
	muzzlehatch says: 1/10/2015 2:38:10 AM I'm not really that fussy, Eddie, its really only an excuse to get to play with some other people. For what it is worth I probably fall into that group called "intermediate".
	joemac says: 1/10/2015 2:43:09 AM Intermediate is good! Most of the people that attend these type of workshops are beginners and hungry for any help they can get....how about you give it a go, it would be greatly appreciated and you would have fun doing it!
	simesa says: 1/11/2015 6:58:20 AM Sounds great - will probably drive up and back on the day - as long as I can get a pass-out from 'er indoors...
	Bumnotes Bill says: 1/11/2015 1:36:01 PM Where is the venue please, and do you think there will be any room at the Inn?
volvoman says: 1/13/2015 12:18:54 AM Hi Ed do I need to book a ticket? or do you just need numbers?? Alwalys fancied a trip to Stalyvegas
	alfiedog says: 1/13/2015 3:03:15 AM No Ticket's Mike. I will just need number's closer to the event. I am thinking there will be a max of 60 people. Staly Vegas, aint Staly Vegas anymore mate, most of the Trendy Bar's have long gone (thank god)
	tomryan says: 1/28/2015 4:50:14 AM Count me in Eddie...... Tom
	alfiedog says: 1/28/2015 5:01:13 AM No prob's Tom :)
	conic says: 2/13/2015 3:59:27 PM Alfie, I like the sound of this meeting, what time you planning on finishing?
	alfiedog says: 2/13/2015 4:21:22 PM What ever time YOU want to finish Conic :) There are several people staying the night at the Venue, so i should imagine there will be plenty of Pickin, and chatting. :) What's your real name ? Cant go calling you Conic all the time can we ;{ There is also a local pick that's held every Saturday at Stalybridge Buffet Bar, it's about 1/2 a mile from the Wharf, and has been going for about 35 year's. It's open ended, but quite Folk orientated, with some superb player's, so i would imagine some folk's might fancy it as a night cap :)
