Hahahaha! Don't worry mate, you aren't alone! :lol: Maybe you're like me and you've been trapped with Tim for a few hours as he recounts every fight he's ever been in complete with re-enactments (you being the defeated foe of course). Ahhhhh good times. :lol:

Good PR there Jezz, I still don't know whose face belongs to you, I'm guessing one of the few younger ones like myself?

Hi Hutch,

You don't need to bring anything to either actually, you can just come along and watch, converse etc... but it's always good if you bring a tree, especially to the workshop and whatever tools you have.

See you there. :D

Yeah as TeeJay has said, you dont really need to bring anything, just come along and have a chat.

Though it is always fun to get your hands dirty. :D

And there is always a lot of people who are willing to offer opinions on your tree. And they all have different ideas which is good for brain storming ideas about a tree.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Don't forget your bottle of water.

And we look very much forward to hosting you. And I definately agree that we should all bring a big water bottle.

Any hints about what you will be doing?

Jarrod,
Tonite my presentation will consist of several distinct segments. My purpose will be to open a creative clearing for the participants to step into. I don't wish to give too much away as it may erode the spontaneity that I require of the group.
Cheers
Lindsay

I must say that you did open our minds, seemed to leave the group speechless.

I just want to thank you once again for coming all the way out to us for the "demo"/discussion. It was different from anything I have anything I have even witnessed. So thank you.

I'm sure we would love to host you again some time.

It was a fantastic night Lindsay, although a little on the warm side….. :o

As the club librarian I can’t thank you enough for your extreme generosity. Your donations to our library are appreciated more than you can imagine.

I’m certainly looking forward to your next visit…. ;)
