Default Gardening Leave (again, sorry :o)

Hi everyone,

As it's getting close to end of season myself and another veteran are going to start a fly tying workshop to be run twice a week. We have done a bit of investigating and it turns out a lot of the veterans that attend Combat Stress are very interested in this.

We will have plenty of room to sit down 8 people but have not quite got enough tools or materials, so I am on the scrounge for any cheap tools that might have come with a kit and materials (feathers, wires, threads etc)

If anyone can help out we would be extremely grateful. Drop me a PM if you would like any more information and address to send stuff.

Thanks in advance,
Tam

Tam, I will certainly sort you some materials, please let me have an address to send to.
My holiday is looming, so it might be a couple of weeks before they arrive, then again if I can sort it beforehand I will.
Steven.

Super duper!

Do you fly fish for salmon? I will be teaching trout flies while the other vet will be doing salmon flies so will get some salmon flies to you as well. Just send me a quick PM with your postal address

Thanks,
Tam
