Woodies Weekend, 1st - 3rd March

SWAN Woodies Weekend

Friday 1^st – Sunday 3^rd March 2013

Come along and join us for the 2013 Woodies Weekend, a whole weekend of woodcraft style songs, training sessions, campfires and chance to share ideas with others from around the South West.

Where is it?  This year we've booked the Springhead Centre, near Shaftsbury. http://www.springheadtrust.co.uk/index.php As you can see from the website the centre has wonderful facilities both indoors and outdoors so we'll have plenty of options for activities.

What will be on offer? Along with the more formal workshops there will be plenty of time to relax and chat with other woodcrafters from around the SWAN area. Workshops this year will include Safeguarding – with all the recent headlines we'll be making sure we are all aware of the best safeguarding practice in our groups. “Hands in” Geo caching – we'll have someone along to talk about making the most of this years national Hands in project. SWAN AGM – keep in touch with what has been happening in SWAN and the plans for 2013 The great outdoors – the centre is set in beautiful grounds so we'll get out and explore, sharing some outdoor ideas for you to take back to your groups. Is there something else you would like to see, a song you are desperate to learn or an issue in your group you are not sure how to handle? Let us know and we'll see if we can fit something in to our remaining workshop slots.
