For anyone who is not aware, I would like to say that the local branches of the Fly Dressers' Guild are by far the most effective way to learn about fly tying. In the 10 years or so since I started, I would have learned only the smallest fraction but for joining our branch (Craven).
Are we allowed to post links here? Here goes -
Skipton Flytyers' Home Page

For the Bristol area, go to Bristol Fly Dressers

For east Yorkshire eastyorkshireflydressers.co.uk

Any for the Birmingham area?

All branches are welcome to advertise on here and add links, perhaps we can make this a sticky thread?

As for Brimingham sadly there are currently no active guild branches, If there are any members interested in forming a branch please get in touch and we will help you in forming a branch

Regards

The nearest ones to Richmond seem to be Leeds or the Craven branch that meet in Skipton.
For Newcastle there is a branch in Northumbria that meets at Dinnington which seems pretty close. I will PM you with the secretarys contact details

Regards
