Virtual Rodmakers Gathering

#1

Post by Anders Johannesson »

At the start of the pandemic the VRG started. It's a zoom meeting on the computer. And a very nice way of discussing topics related to rodmaking. The meetings took a pause during some months but ar up and running once again.

Some of the earlier meetings can be watched here

Having totally spaced out the latest VRG meeting yesterday will there be further meetings in the future? Also will there be a possible video of this latest gathering?

There will be more meetings, next is scheduled in late in may. Date is not yet 100% fixed! The planning is ongoing for autumn and winter and also already for next year! There will be presenters that are new in the game as well as the most experienced rod makers with world reputation.

We hope that it will be possible to get the videos up and running on the home page.

Thanks. I didn’t put the gathering on my calendar, relying on my memory which at 72 years old isn’t always reliable. Looking forward to the next one.

I received a calendar notification for yesterday's meeting or I would have spaced out. I assume that when I signed up for this latest series they added me to the calendar. Maybe you can email them and you will get a similar notification. I think Tom Lucas was the one who added me.

I had to cut out early from the Zoom this morning but I stayed for Hoagy's whole presentation and the subsequent Q&A. It was really great.
