This was a very successful and informative event held at Flimwell last weekend (22nd May).    There were three main speakers, Mike Pepler of Ashden Awards, Matthew Woodcock from the  Forestry commission and Nick Gibbs editor of  Living Woods magazine.

There’s a great oak timber framing course coming up later in the year.
