Dry Stone Walling - Courses & Events
The branch run training courses in dry stone walling, as well as hosting exams at levels from Initial to Advanced.
During the year we also take part in agricultural shows and other events, where we demonstrate our craft.
For the safety of trainees, the branch recently made a major purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE), which will be available during all our courses.
