OCTOBER:
Saturday, October 8, 2005 @ The Tapley Forge c/o Peter Staples

The Oct.8 /05 meeting is also confirmed at Tapley Forge in Cavan, Ont. Peter Staples will be our host and hopefully our demonstrator for the meet. Peter wanted to tell all that he would be "selling some of (his) blacksmithing equipment and related items".

"With luck the map should give direction to Tapley Forge for the OABA meeting October 8/05. I will try to involve the local TV station, radio and newspapers again this year. I hope that people will bring display stuff since there should be some public participation as there was last year. Unfortunately parking is at a premium since we live on a fairly well travelled concession road but the east/west concession (Syer Line) has considerably less traffic and I would encourage people to park there. Looking forward to the meeting, Peter Staples"
