Hello my lovely northern lads and lasses!
I’m your new North West Rep and am here for all your woodies needs! I’m hoping to be able to bring together all the regions in the north west (there are rather a lot) and will keep you posted on lots of exciting regional events you can get involved in. I also think its important to integrate the age groups so we can get more fresh faced venturers coming to join us in the big scary world of DFdom! So I’ll be working on that as much as I can.
Please let me know if you have any ideas for events or anything you want me to pass on to the rest of the region and I’ll try my best to get it sorted!
Hope we can all have a brilliant time woodying it up together – whoever said it was grim up north had obviously never met us lot! 
blue skies,
Ruth Holtom

The District Fellows Movement is the 16-20 year old members of the co-operative educational youth charity, the woodcraft folk, whose ideology is based on the principles of equality, peace, social justice and co-operation, with an emphasis on the empowerment of young people.
DF meetings usually consist of a group of like minded individuals meeting up at a regular time and place (someone's house, or a pub for instance, or even a community hall if the group is large enough) and taking part in usual woodcraft activities. These activities range from co-operative games, orgainising events, workshops and discussions, and general socialising!
The DF movement also meets up on a national basis frequently, to hold both social, educational events and business events allowing everyone to be involved in the running of DF's...
