Hello Gt Hockam

Hi All,
Had my first proper meeting with Rachel from Gt Hockam Primary school.
I have been asked to do a 6 week mini oven building course with the after school gardening club, and at some point in the Summer I am being asked to come back and build a much bigger oven for the school to use at the summer fair.
Also met a guy who owns a camping and caravan site in the same village who is mega keen on having an oven built at his site.
Should start work at the end of April.

Half term is over

Hi all,
I called or emailed all of my new contacts today regarding any projects that may or not be going ahead.
Unfortunately two of the local projects didn't receive the funding that they had been bidding for.
Fortunately a local organisation could be stepping in to help fund my first workshop.
I should find out more tomorrow.
I was given a contact at Gressenhall Workhouse and Farm Museum in Dereham. Hannah is the Sustainability Project officer and is already in the process of getting planning permission for an eco building on site.
Not a lot more to today, so it looks like a case of slowly slowly catchy monkey.
Peace out and keep on cobbing.
