Being on the forum is really valuable for anyone wanting to discuss a specific subject but probably not so useful if all you need is a good old fashioned chinwag, normally this need is catered for at the regular club meeting..... probably over a cuppa-and-biscuit combo! Now, however, in these strange times of lockdown, I'm wondering how many isolated woodies are beginning to miss this healthy interaction.
Just in case my theory is correct I would like to throw out 2 invitations.
1) To anyone out there in Woodyland who just wants to talk turning, share knowledge in either direction, generally chew the fat or even just blow raspberries at someone other than Boris for a change, drop me a PM, with an email address if you like (if you are concerned about security open a new address specifically for this purpose, which you can then discard when things return to normal, and, of course, dont share other contact details). Come on, don't be shy, just go for it, I'm happy to conflab on any woody-based subject.... or even no subject at all!
2) I would also invite others reading this to join me and make a similar offer so that such folk have the choice of who they conflab with and whether a pen-pal style of contact is favoured over, perhaps, having a yarn with someone different as often as they fancy.
Please give it a little thought
