SUMMARY:FINAL hedgehog tour
DESCRIPTION:Know I’ve said it before but this really will be the last!   It’s on 20th July 2-4 pm. \nall the details are on any of the previous tours \nI’ve only had great feedback and it’s just a fiver for two hours... \nHelp 4 Hedgehogs is based near Herstmonceux and I’ve just spent an absolutely brilliant two hours being shown round.   Tas is a hedgehog expert and I so enjoyed myself.    Only six people on a tour.  You’ll be split into two groups of three to go round. \nYou won’t be able to pick up/touch the hedgehogs I’m afraid because they’re anxious about cross contamination/infection but you will be able to get close up and personal!  Thirty people contacted me to say they were interested so I’ve arranged five tours from 26 June through to 7july.  All starting at 2pm except for the tour on 6july which starts at 12.00. \nMinimum age is 11 as the hospital ward has to be kept very quiet.  Only £5pp for about two hours.    Hedgehogs are quite fussy little eaters\, and absolutely no obligation\, but if you would like to donate  some food please can it be Purina 1 or\nRoyal canin …. pink one for kittens (both dry food) or special hedgehog wet food a favourite is brambles meaty hedgehog which you can get on line from Chubby Mealworms or Spikes semi moist  hedgehog food which you can find in most garden centres.  But Please absolutely no need to donate anything. \nThere are two disabled parking spots on site but that’s it!    Lots of on street parking 5minutes walk away.   (One step into the Sanctuary) \n  \n

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Smallholding
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps you're about to take over a smallholding? Or are you relatively new to keeping land and animals? If so\, perhaps you feel you'd like to talk the issues through with others in the same boat\, and with someone who's been doing it for a while? If that sounds like you\, then our "Introduction to Smallholding" workshop is just the thing for you. \nCome and spend the afternoon finding out what smallholding entails from a practical perspective\, as you visit this 7 acre plot. Paul Lovatt Smith has been working on the land for over 15 years\, and has a wealth of knowledge that he's happy to share\, including: \n\nHow to get started - we know it's all a bit overwhelming at first\nWhat's involved with the paperwork and legal aspects\, as well as the finances\nA basic overview of keeping poultry\, sheep\, cattle and pigs\nGrowing veg\nMaking hay and growing small-scale cereals\n\nPlease note: \nthis course will be held outdoors (and partly in a barn) - so please do wear suitable outdoors clothing\, bearing in mind that this is England - it may well be cold and damp (or warm and sunny\, boiling and dry\, windy and snowing... you get the picture). \nCan't make this date? Event sold out? Please email our training organiser so that you will be on the list when we run the workshop again. \n

SUMMARY:Make Your Own Sussex Trug in a Day
DESCRIPTION:This is an exciting opportunity to build your own Sussex trug in a one day workshop.\nAny questions regarding this event\, please contact Cliff at meetings@sftg.org.uk  \nThe true Sussex trug is a very durable design that with only a little care will last a lifetime. It is not to be confused with the cheap imitations sold in many outlets today! You will learn how to cut\, shave and bend the wooden components and to finish with traditional copper tacks. All wood is grown and coppiced locally. \nTo save time on the day the wood will already have been roughly prepared. \nThis workshop runs from 9 am to (nominally) 5 pm. In the words of our tutor Richard it runs from 9 am to "when we're finished". He likes to make sure everyone leaves with a completed trug! \nPlease bring your own food and drink. A kettle and drinking water is provided. \nThis workshop is not suitable for under 18s.

SUMMARY:Paint an Emu!
DESCRIPTION:Please note: you’ll need to BOOK DIRECT with The Paint Club for this one. \nSeveral members have shown me their paintings which they have done through The Paint Club and to be honest I’ve been amazed at the standard.   Even from our less artistic members (in whose camp I firmly sit). \nI’ve investigated an SFTG only evening but it works out quite expensive so myself and others have booked an Emu Painting Evening direct.  If anyone would like to join us please book via thepaintclub.co.uk.    Please do email me\, Cat Bush at meetings@sftg.org.uk\, to let me know if you’ve booked though so we can meet and sit together. \nThe price is £32 per person

SUMMARY:Summer foraging walk
DESCRIPTION:Following two brilliant spring foraging walks everyone wanted more walks with Katy\,\,..so I’ve fixed up both a summer and autumn walk.    Plus a nettle workshop where\,amongst other things\, we will make some food using nettles (and maybe the delicious nettle beer we tried after our last walk!) I’m certainly going to do them all! \nKaty has incredible knowledge ….shes a herbalist and life long forager.   The walk will be in the Punnetts Town area.\,\,.looking\, observing\,tasting\, smelling and learning about wild foods and herbal medicines available from the hedgerow.\nIt will be about an hours walk  (but possibly a lot more)  leaving at 10.00   £10pp.    Easy route along lanes and tracks. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nettles!
DESCRIPTION:I bet we’ve all cursed them!     Katy\, a herbalist and life long forager\, is going to change our minds and show us the many benefits of the common nettle.\nWe’re going to find\, observe and pick them.  Then do a tea ceremony where we’ll smell and observe.  Next up a shared art piece of all things nettle … and then we’ll make and share some food made with nettles. \nIt will be a minimum of two hours\, probably more as following our foraging walks Katy knows we like to chat\, a lot! \nMaximum of 8 people (so book quick!) . The workshop will be held in Punnetts Town

SUMMARY:Make Your Own Chorizo or Salami
DESCRIPTION:Wow your family and friends (and yourself) with delicious home made chorizo! \nJenny takes you through the steps of making a chorizo from sourcing meat and flavouring the stuffing\, to fermentation and curing. An ideal way to turn your excess minced meat into a delicious shelf stable product that doesn't need refrigeration.  And the result is cheaper and usually far tastier than those bought from supermarkets! \nWe will look at the different types of casing for the chorizo\, different ways and equipment used to stuff your casings\, as well as what flavourings you can use to flavour your meat. We will then look at how to start the fermentation effectively\, and how to cure your product at home without it going mouldy or the skin drying out.  We will use meat from one of our member's organic pigs and aim for you to make 3 chorizo to take home for curing. These will be ready to eat within just 3 weeks. \nThis workshop is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to make much more at home with less than £20 worth of equipment. \nAll the above can easily be switched from chorizo to salami simply by using a different ferment\, as Jenny will explain. \n \n

SUMMARY:Private tour of the British Wildlife Centre
DESCRIPTION:Are you passionate about British wildlife and want to know more about our different native species?\nWhy don’t you join us on a completely private tour of the British Wildlife Centre on the 24th of April?  It takes a couple of hours and starts at 230  The Centre is closed to the general public that day so it would just be a keeper plus 12 SFTG members.  I’m told that because it’s such a small group interaction with the animals is amazing.  This really should be a great afternoon. Over 40 native species are lovingly cared for by David Mills and his team in East Surrey (British Wildlife Centre\, Eastbourne Road\, Newchapel\, Lingfield\, Surrey RH7 6LF). \nDavid has run the centre since 1997 when he converted his old dairy farm into a long-standing dream of opening his own zoo of native species focussing on nationwide breeding programmes to introduce nearly extinct species. \nWe will have the opportunity to see the animals up close during this informative and fun private tour. As well as meeting old (and making new!) friends this will be a fabulous day out in a superb environment! \nPLUS Karen\, our lovely membership secretary and her partner Ed have invited us to their gorgeous smallholding which is about 15 minutes drive away\, for tea:coffee\, cake and goat cuddles.  So she can get cake quantities right  can you put  a note on your booking form to say you’d like to eat afterwards.  No set amount to pay but there will be a donation box \nPLUS we’re planning on trying to arrange car sharing so please email catrionabush@gmail.com if you’d like this. \nFun fact: Dame Judi Dench can often be spotted there as she lives nearby and David is her partner!
