Just received this from National Trust/RSPB.

As someone who knows about or uses the Eastern Moors and the Sheffield City Council moors of
Burbage, Hathersage and Houndkirk we would like to invite you to attend one of the following
consultation workshops.
By the end of each workshop, attendees will have:
• Found out more about the new partnership that will take on the management of the Eastern
Moors for the Peak District National Park Authority in Autumn 2010, and its objectives.
• Had an opportunity to contribute your views and ideas on the current and possible future
management of the Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors;
• Heard about the next steps planned following the Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors
summer 2010 consultation events.
Workshops are free to attend but you need to book in advance. Please telephone Margot
Seymour at Losehill Hall on 01433 622472 to book your place, or email
training.losehill@peakdistrict.gov.uk (giving your name, organisation (if relevant), email and a
contact telephone number) at least 5 days before the event(s) you wish to attend.

The workshop that looks like it was designed for climbing folk is:

Workshop 3 - Enjoying the Uplands
Tuesday 3rd August, 19:00 – 21:00 (18:45 arrival)
Totley All Saints Church Hall, Totley Hall Lane, Totley, Sheffield S17
People have accessed the Eastern and Sheffield City Council Moors for the pursuit of a range of
recreational activities, such as climbing, cycling, walking and watching wildlife, for many years. The
nature of these activities is defined by the character of the land and in some ways the land has been
changed by the activities carried out there.
This workshop seeks to better understand how we can enhance the recreational provision on this
land, while ensuring it remains in harmony with the needs of the natural environment.

PM me if you'd like to hear about the other workshops.

A workshop, eh? A place where metal is hammered, wood shaved, solder melted (and fingers burned).

Couldn't agree more.  What's a fella to do when that kind of corporate-speak drops into his in-box?  Edit?  :shrug: ;)

Turn up to the event in overalls, caked in engine oil and carrying a small bag of tools. Obviously.
