9 June 2007: Gay Men's Week
From 9 - 16 June 2007... A gay men's week run by members of the Edward Carpenter Community (www.gaycommunity.org.uk). Alongside workshops traditionally offered & run by attendees there will also be a focus on skills-sharing workshops & activities.
This will be a traditional Gay Men's Week at Laurieston Hall organised by members of the Edward Carpenter Community (ECC) with up to 55 places available, and as any early summer week's weather may prove too inclement for many outdoor activities, the organisers intend to include an additional component as a prototype activity with a view to it becoming the subject of a themed week in the future, if successful.
Expect all the features you know and love; as well as the workshops traditionally offered and organised by members after arrival, we would like to hold ‘Skills Sharing' workshops. Here, members would teach/demonstrate/share a variety of skills which they possess but others don't, in an entertaining/fun/communal activity-based way. In fact, this is not essentially different from the usual singing, circle dancing, T-shirt painting, aromatherapy etc. workshops regularly offered.
The difference is the subject matter. Examples of skills that the writer would like to learn: (a) successfully to iron a shirt without dropping the thing or losing my temper, (b) the art of successful short-crust pastry making (without ditto), (c) juggling with more than one ball, (d) bicycle puncture mending without tears, (e) enhanced massage skills. There are many more.
What the writer could offer: (a) bread making, (b) hedge laying, (c) the fast route to foreign language learning (what your teacher never told you but I can), (d) map reading for the nervous, (e) a new approach to Sudoku (with maths and colours!).
These are examples to get you thinking, as most of us have myriad skills that firstly we do not consider as skills, and secondly do not realise others want.
Other than the above, come expecting a traditional GMW with all the familiar features - and more. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
