Only 7 days to go....

[English Whip Maker]

Until the second annual British Whip Cracking Convention.

We have twice the space that we had last year and will be running workshops for absolute beginners as well as more advanced whip crackers; light hearted competitions (with some serious prizes!); a buffet-style lunch thrown in with the price, whips to try if you don't own your own; whips for sale; all-day practice space; and some very friendly people who enjoy nothing more than sharing their knowledge and learning from others. All in all, a great day out.

This year's prizes include: Stock Whips from Blue Gum whips and Peter Jack, bullwhips from 'yours truly', DT King and Adam Winrich, a Florida cow whip from Rhett Kelley, a signed copy of Whips and Whip Making from David Morgan, and instructional DVD's from Western Stage Props and Simon Martin.

I'll be there, of course, with a selection of Australian stock whips and English bullwhips for sale although, with so much decent whip cracking gear being given away, I'm worried that I might not sell a thing (if you are in the market for a new whip, bring your cheque book NOT plastic)!

It all kicks off at 10.00am on Saturday 10th June, at Caerleon Campus, Newport College, University of Wales - good public transport links from other parts of the country and about a 2.5 hours drive from London, the Midlands and the South West.

More info can be found on the convention website: www.whipcrackuk.co.uk

Hope to see some of you there!
