I was informed by Volker that the schedule of the upcoming blacksmithing events has to be changed.
The summer fair at the Bethaus smithy will now take place on
13. and 14th of July.
On 6th of July I will be at the Bethaus smithy also, but only on a regular basis. Come over, get a coffee cheap and have a chat!
The Hammer - In on 7th of July at the industrial museum is not touched by this change, as well as my presence on the highland games in Wuppertal!
