Hey Kal-El, welcome to the site.

I'm not local but me and the welshbockers will be in Sheffield in a few weeks for Cliff Hanger festival. We'll be doing workshops and demos and you're welcome to come along. I'll get you in free if you do.
Also the guys from North East Wales + Chester Bockers I think are coming along but I've not heard from them in a while.

There is at least 1 other bocker from just outside sheffield. I'll have to look him up, he was a newbie aswell I think.
