Chris

I am in Hamilton If you find a place for rod building classes let me know. Maybe we need to find out how many rod builders are in the Golden Horseshoe and get together every few months??

I'm a little north of Peterborough.
It sounds like we might have enough for a group.

G'Day Fellas a couple of years ago 3 of us who met on this forum decided to get together & from that inital meeting we now have around 20 members .We call ourselves the SEARBS (South East Australian Rod Builders) & although we are Sydney based we have members who travel over 1000 kms for the meeting .The get togethers are mostly informal with a lot of discussion between members with similar interests or problems . These meetings are without a doubt the best thing that I have ever been involved in & would recomend that you make the effort for a face to face meeting. You won't regret it & as a bonus you will meet some incredible builders.
