9 June 2007: Gay Men's Week June 2007
This will be a traditional Gay Men's Week at Laurieston Hall with up to 55 places available. There will be 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, and 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.
Obviously, some will need prior organising and also prior consultation with Laurieston Hall residents (for example, if a workshop needs a kitchen, that may have logistical implications if the small one off ‘flight deck' isn't big enough, and if there is to be hedge-laying, we first need to be sure there is an unkempt hedge to lay – and tools to lay it with). So the organisers request prior notice of intention to run a Skills Sharing workshop – at least where the above consultation needs apply.
Other than the above, come expecting a traditional GMW with all the familiar features - and more. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
