Mini Workshop - Cleeve Abbey, Somerset

[PAUL O]

Following on from Barry's suggetsion for a visit/workshop at Cleeve Abbey (see comment on Somerset Photos thread!) I rang and spoke to the custodian today. The abbey is closed until 31 March so I thought an ideal opportunity for a public-free workshop Unfortunately the abbey is undergoing restoration work during this preriod so a workshop is out

However, she did say that a group visit would be possible and suggested a weekend during the end of April/beginning of May - apparently this time of year is VERY quiet and we should have little interference from the public.

Anyone interested? I appreciate that this date will be close to the Spring Gathering but if we can get a few of us who are interested it could be good?

Let me know! Paul

As I live in Plymouth, Devon, I would definitely be interested. I am on two-weeks paid leave from Monday 16th April to Friday 27th April, so can not attend later than Sunday 29th due to my job. If the dates could be more specific, I will look forward to meeting up some of you LFers who will (hopefully) provide me with some guidance with my MPP.
I see that many of you use Sinar, Ebony, Toyo etc, Roll-Royce cameras. I guess my camera is an old Skoda by comparison.

[PAUL O]

Hi Keith - I will confirm dates in the next week or so. As for choice of camera ... as long as its "big" then everyone's happy

[Quentin]

Hi Paul,

I too would be interested.

Cheers

I too am interested. I remember catching some trout in the stream that runs along the road there when I was about 16 and staying on holiday in Watchet. I'd probably stay over at my daughters in Bristol.

Now the spring vacation (sorry workshop) is out of the way is it time to look at Cleeve Abbey?

I could be tempted, depending on the date, work, etc....

I was looking around the site to see whether there was an opportunity to "do" an LF workshop, and noticed its been a little quiet around here lately...anything pending?

[Joanna Carter]

Nothing official, but that doesn't stop you finding a location and time and inviting everyone who can get there along Just post your ideas in a new thread in the Workshops forum and see who bites.

I've started a new thread to seek views on this...
