GENERAL NOTES
FOR PARTICIPANTS
1. Participants are
to make their own arrangements for transport, overnight accommodation,
breakfast & evening meal. Assistance in doing this is available
from the Course Booking Agent .
2. *As stated above
the cost of the course includes all basic materials for construction
of both movement and case - apart from the hands, and one or two
customisations which the discerning participant may wish to make
by prior arrangement e.g. personalised cartouche. Details such as
this will be discussed and agreed with participants in sufficient
time for orders to be placed with suppliers & engravers.
3. The pace and nature
of the course is tailored to accommodate a range of participants'
skills and prior experience, but contact time in the workshop is
limited and will need to be used efficiently.
4. The timing of each
weekend session, at four weekly intervals, will enable participants
to do additional work at home according to their own needs, capabilities
and preferences.
5. For those who do
not have access to the necessary workshop facilities, the basic
clock can be built from components provided by Melvyn Kaye. This
will ensure that every participant has the opportunity to complete,
and own, the replica 18c longcase clock they have worked on during
the course.
