What about an 'end of year' get together on the 6th Dec?

I'd be happy to have people meet at my house (nr Gloucester) for coffee/wine/beer/baked spud and chilli/sandwiches etc. I'd be happy to drive and do the same somewhere else if that was more local for more people.

December seems a good time for a get-together because there doesn't seem to be nearly as much beekeeping going on.

Is anyone up for it? Say 12.00 on the 6th Dec for 3 or 4 hours of food, drinks and lots of chit chat and gossip? Usual rules on propriety and slander 'on pause' for the afternoon ;-)

Anyone else willing to host an event on the same day and time so we could cover more of the forum population?

If there was a good turn-out, it might even be worth organising an on-line quiz between the regions: timed 'spot the queen on a frame in this photo', knowledge of bee biology, spotting healthy and sickly combs, making wax candles, who knows - I'm just a beginner

Thats a fab idea!!!

Well, I can do open house on that time and date. Am North of Brighton on the South coast - so anyone in the commuting area is very welcome.

That all sounds like a great idea.

Should we start up a new thread for this?

I'd like to have a 'Build a Warré hive' afternoon if the weather's good. I've got some nice thick wood and a new circular saw (!!!). Just need Hedgerow Pete to come down the motorway and show me how to do it

Do we have any takers for other areas of the UK or elsewhere?

Finman - if you have Skype video, you can join any or all of them!
