Hello Everyone

[memattaylor]

Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie so thought I'd say a quick hello to everyone!

I'm a hobbyist really and loads to learn and lots of help and guidance always welcome.

Originally from the Midlands (I used to work 5 minutes away from Cooksons, which used to make my lunch breaks very expensive!) but have moved to Cornwall and joined the local Silversmith courses to ensure I keep on learning and practicing.

Nice to 'meet' you all anyway :~:

Hello from me Matt :)

Hi Matt, and welcome from another one from Cornwall. Which classes are you taking?

We are developing quite the Kernow kontingent. Must be the air!

[memattaylor]

Hi all,

Thanks for the messages.

I'm at Falmouth Adult Ed (Tregenver Road) where the excellent Rebecca Walklett runs a beginners course. I've completed the same course a few times now, but the timings are convenient and Rebecca let's us get on with projects and still introduces new techniques as we go.

Happy to be here, and in the South West!!

Welcome Matt, that's just how I started, college of FE and the beginners class for 3 years with a very encouraging and helpful tutor!!

Thanks Tabby, in fact my first class was at Stafford, I cannot remember the teachers name but he was excellent too, I was living in North Shropshire on the border with Staffordshire before moving down to Cornwall. That was it then, I had the bug!

Welcome.
Good to hear from a 'near' neighbour
(I live in Tavistock Devon)
You have the best of both worlds. A great hobby in a great part of the country!

All the best
Tim

Was it Phil by any chance?? He certainly is responsible for giving me 'the bug'!!

Hi Matt,

welcome, hope you have fun whilst learning and sharing :D

[LydiaNiz]

Hello from me! Look forward to seeing what you get up to!

[memattaylor]

Yes it was, what a coincidence? He retired the same time I left to come to Cornwall, I was only there a few terms but loved it and Phil was excellent in my humble opinion.

Thanks all for the great welcome.

what about the boys? or the girls who like atheistic ugly?

Hate it when people get all exclusive like that.

Apologies, I was slow removing the spammer.
