I agree about simple skills exchange!! I am definitely NOT looking for therapy [as bodsier posted] or heavy duty work.


Just some simple, friendly, one-to-one 'help each other out' type of stuff.


I imagine there must be LOADS of it out there.


And, as others have said..maybe keep it to EDF?..a simple exchange of simple skills?


Can we have a section on EDF??? Can we??

I am writing from The Great Exhibition Pub and think that your idea of a local skills swap is brilliant. We are actually at the moment planning a Random Acts of Kindness Week to take place on the 11-17th February, and think that this could be a great addition to the events that we have planned.

We were thinking of hosting a skills swap board, where you can come and post up the skills you have or want to swap? Any thoughts you have on this would be appreciated.

Will you be starting a thread on here about it? Very keen to know more :)

We have today launched a Local Skills Swap wall here at The Great Exhibition. We are very excited about this concept, and already have two pledges!! First a private tuition in either Buisness or ICT GCSE from the head teacher of a local school, and a Clarinet, Saxophone or music theory lesson.


We really hope to get as many people involved in this as possible, so please do come in and make your skill pledges!

I think this is a great ideas guys; I have added to the wall via the staff; 2x1 hour personal training sessions at our private personal training studio on Overhill Road. Speak to the Great Exhibition staff for details.


The music lessons sound great I've always wanted to learn to play an instrument!

Hi

Just to mention that Language Lounge has been running since 2008, we have had some fantastic language teaching offered by lovely people, we have seven languages on offer at the moment, next sessions start in March, please see the Language Lounge thread in the What's On section if you're interested.

    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
