joshua.M Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I am in eastern Ontario, I think that if a new guild were to be started it should be a sub-guild of the OABA, I know from conversations with the president of OABA Mic Smith that if we want to move some events east, it is as simple as saying "i have space to hold a meeting/demo/class" and then work with the board to organize it. I would not be interested in joining as I believe it would be cause for a whole lot of unnecessary drama and politics. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Taylor Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I agree with you josua M we really don't need to reinvent the wheel here it would be nice to have some workshops/events at this end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua.M Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 so someone at this end needs to volunteer to host and contact Mick Smith... simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua.M Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 On september 7th to 9th there will be a demonstration and course offered at the Norwood fairgrounds, IF we get enough interest. THIS is the opportunity for everyone in this area that wants more eastern ontario meetings/demos/courses to show up. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshua.M Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nothing ever came of this OABA is the only ABANA affiliate in Ontario, this past september we had an event at the Norwood farigrounds in eastern Ontario, please feel free to message me with any questions, if you add your location to your profile you may find that there is someone within a reasonable distance you could learn from Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmonteIron Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I would be interested in some local organization & events. Local to me means Ottawa <> kingston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrandow Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 There will be an OABA meeting near Peterborough/Norwood on the second weekend of July, that's the closest we're scheduled to have in 2014. There may be other events further on in the year as well, check the website for more details as they become available. OABA would also be interested in helping to sponsor Eastern Ontario blacksmiths who wanted to get together for Hammer-In/Open Forge type meetings, feel free to contact me, or anyone else on the executive, for more details. We would also be interested in any Eastern Ontario blacksmiths who were interested/willing to host an OABA event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
