  Wouldn't it be a good idea to run a welding workshop at the next International?
  
  I know we've only just had the International... but it all goes into the melting pot... doesn't it?

    Agree with Nigel!
    Also, talks/demonstrations from people with other expertise - panel beating, spraying, trim, upholstery, electrics.
    See my post in the Stafford future thread about the VTR meet in the USA.
    
    Neil,
    Your local 'College of Knowledge', Tech (though some call themselves Unis nowadays), Further or Adult Education college may run such courses. Mine did, and though it was very poorly taught in terms of the academic side, it provided lots of welding experience in different thicknesses of metal, with practical advice. Academia may not be what you are after, but to 'forget' that we were supposed to be doing test pieces each week in the different thicknesses and styles was unforgivable, when some of the students were looking for employment on the back of the course.
