KNOT NIGHT: Fri 7 March, 7.30pm

Friday, March 7 @ 19:30 - 22:00

Knotty knots need not be knotted by novice knotters!

With an extensive background in industrial and theatre rigging, Peter Kalopsidiotis will share a fascinating journey about knots.

·        Did you know the ‘Ashley Book of Knots’ contains over 3,800 different knots!

·        How are knots used in crime detection …!?

·        Did you know new knots are rare but occasionally invented

·        Do you know the difference between Hawsers, Marlines and Ratlines?

Come join an informal and interactive evening; hear about ropes, their uses, histories, and learn a new knot or improve an old knot. Knots have played a very significant role in the development of man.
