Mungler Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) I am currently very busy at work, but when I get a chance and a break I fancy doing a butchery course. I was going to have a look around and see if there was something I could get booked onto / into. Now then, I know there are some serious butchers on here and I don't think I'm a alone in my desire to learn a bit of choppy choppy from people in the know. What about running a PW course? We would need a butcher, a venue and a few people to fall in and turn up. As for dead stuff to work on, well, I'm sure we can scratch around and find something . Any ideas or views? Failing all else can anyone recommend a course. Cheers all. Edited May 25, 2011 by Mungler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sounds interesting M BASC and BDS do them already too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 http://www.vicarsgame.co.uk/courses.htm I was going to do this one a while ago, but then shot a few deer in quick succession and ended up working it out for myself. Having said that I would still be interested if the price was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 yeah id be up for that...though not A LOT different from what i do for a living........................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin lad Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 if someone could arrange a venue i am a butcher and would be willing to bring some tools over and show anyone how to do what ever is needed, ie teach you what you like if that helps also free of charge wouldn't want paying just plenty of cups of tea (its a butchers thing) colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Colin, I've got the tea if you've got the time. If it were a central location between here and Essex I'd be happy to pick Colin up and bring him down as part of the deal if a venue and meat can be arranged.

gyp Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'd be up for that too, (if the price is right, theres a recession on.!) Not sure about going to essex though, i've heard a lot of funny things about that side of the shires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I am up for it. Colin what would you need space and equipment wise? I know some school caretakers in Stevenage, perhaps a school kitchen late afternoon or evening, followed by a BBQ at my house using what we chopped up etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 bang up for it - pretty much self-taught (with a little help from a BDS DVD) - so would love to learn some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Alright, lets have a scratch of heads on locations / venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 i guess we just need an idea from Colin what he requires location wise, i have a mate with a pub who might be up for letting us have his kitchen on a quiet night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Bit far for me to travel, but keep me informed as one of my rare breed pigs Might want to make an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchynik Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 i guess we just need an idea from Colin what he requires location wise, i have a mate with a pub who might be up for letting us have his kitchen on a quiet night? I'll second that. Good pub as well. I'm up for this but what do we do about the stuff we're going to knife up? Bring along what you want or split the cost and get a load of carcasses in?

Dunkield Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Take it back to Bakerboys and feed it to the lesbians :thumbs: Or divide it up among those who want some, I don't BTW I have freezer full a venison already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 This is some thing that i have disscussed with a few on here before, i miss being in the game and jump at the chance of going back to a job i enjoyed doing for so many years. The venue would need to be local,the price well, fuel for me and the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'd be up for this as well, sounds like Herts is about central and as for dead stuff buying it in :blink: surely someone can clobber a few muntjac to order, though a roe may make life a little easier. Like a few I'm an amateur at it but wouldn't mind getting a little more proficient as it gets like a bug trying to get the cuts right.
