unclestuffy Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I was talking to me eldest daughter (8) last night and she was wanting to come beating this year with the dog; the conversation came around to clothing or money for the services of beating. This involves me buying her a new country garment each outing - which is going to be expensive - and wont last that long. This got me thinking - could we recycle our childrens country clothes in PW to other members for a donation to a chosen charity. This way it might encourage the youngest to join and get active before they become teenage sloths. It might be more trouble than it is worth? Her first item is a country check shirt.....and a tweed jacket.......and a matching tweed cap. This does not bode well for the wallet in years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy.plinker Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 This is all a bit alien to me but do children have to wear matching tweeds? the organisers could be mindful of costs and bend the rules a bit and have them wearing darkish green clothing. I think I'd want my kid to wear a bright hat to be seen, but like I say I've never been involved in that but would fancy a go sometime.

unclestuffy Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 No most shoots are happy to have them there but the dressing up in country entire makes them fele more part of it. Obviously there is no call for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 We either donate to a charity shop or if they are too wrecked then the rag bin at the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclestuffy Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 It is not how we live but how my daughter would like to live. Worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
