Soul of Fire

Many Thanks to Alan and Jo Waters for their Kind permission to add this film to the List.
Soul of fire shows a rare earth burn (traditional charcoal burn) by Alan Waters that takes place over three days in a Woodland near Chichester.
It happens only once a year on 11th August, Saint Alexander's Day – the patron saint of charcoal burning. This 8000 year old craft has changed the world.

The national championship will hopefully be in Hampshire this year.At this moment in time with the position we all find ourselves in, the NHLS hopes this post finds you all safe and well. We would like to remind all our members and families to continue to follow government guidelines during this time. We are mostly a self isolating work force as it is, but we still need to purchase food and essentials. Now the hedgelaying season has come to a close we still try to carry on with our summer tasks, please consider what is essential as any accident would put further strain on the health system. Summer shows are looking very limited at the moment, we are all very much in a ‘wait and see’ situation but are hopeful we can be out promoting our trade in the near future.
