A thread has been posted in the Georgia Custom Knifemaker's Guild forum, http://www.knifenetwork.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=59 announcing the Guild Winter meeting. The meeting will be hosted by Charlie and Harry Mathews at their Twin Blades Shop in Statesboro on Saturday, February 11th.

Directions to the shop will be made available a little closer to the meeting date.

Demonstrations: We have one demo that the details are being worked out and will be announced when finalized.

However, we need a couple more.

Do you have a skill set to share? A half hour to an hour demo would be appreciated. Tips or techniques that you would like to know? Need help resolving an issue?

I can be contacted via email or my phone number below.

Further updates regarding the meeting will be posted within the thread.

Andy Roy of Fiddleback Forge is donating a knife for the John C Poythress Scholarship Knife Raffle. We will get a photo up on the forum thread when available.

Iron in the hat.. start going through your stuff. Remember, your stuff may be another person’s treasure. Funds from the Iron in the Hat help defray the cost of hosting the meeting. The newb's really love the iron in the hat.. lots of plunder!

The Board will meet at 8am and conclude around 9am. The general membership meeting will commence at 9:30.

Also: Charlie and Harry are having a social event for those arriving on Friday. Drop by the shop and visit after 3:00pm.

Look forward to seeing everyone.
