Iron in the Blood

Our speaker for our February meeting, on the evening of Thursday 16th, was Bob Oakes, who is a blacksmith at Cold Hanworth Forge. We were interested to hear about how his work had developed and the people who he had worked with. He showed us photographs of work that had been commissioned by English Heritage, that had to be carried out in a correct historical manner.We were also shown photos of gates, screens and garden sculptures. Bob also brought along a garden sculpture for us to look at.
We were pleased to welcome two new members to the Club, that evening, and four visitors.
The Flower of the Month Competition was won by Kathleen, with some snowdrops.
