Lots of things have been happening with the Clockwork Hammer group but due  to some limitations with my computing equipment I have found it difficult to keep everyone updated.  Now I have some newer equipment I should be able to update in a more timely manner. Provided I can keep my brain from imploding using a computer that is not over 10 years old. 

I hope everyone who can has kept abreast of the activities on facebook.  I will endevor to post upcoming events first and then post pictures of past events to keep everyone informed.  Have a good Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada, unfortunately American friends will have to wait until next month for their turkey. There are some perks to the shorter growing season.
