SurveyWith so many members contributing to NZSilversmith by adding photos, writting a blog, asking and answering questions on the forum, and leaving feedback and comments on people's work, it might shock, and indeed horror you, to hear that there are some members who have not done anything since joining. This got me
thinking, 'What do members aim to get out of being a member on NZSIlversmith?'.
To find out a little bit more I have created a short survey using an online site called Survey Monkey. I have included the link
to the survey in the email you have just recieved, and I'd really appreciate it if any of you would be able to provide any
feedback about NZSIlversmith. I will coalate the information and report back to you in the September newsletter. It is all about
trying to make the site better for all of us!

Thanks in advance!
Having been in email contact with several NZSilversmith members recently I have been excited to hear lots of people mentioning the
'sense of community' they get with being a member of NZSilversmith.
It seems an odd thing doesn't it, having a sense of community with others that you have never actually met? My mother is 'friends'
with her FarmTown neighbours on Facebook, people around the world she has never met, but who discuss all sorts of things from their children's latest antics, to politics. They were somewhat randomly drawn together and in a way I tease her about, but here on NZSilversmith we have been drawn together by a
common passion for metal, design and a love of creating something from nothing.
It has got me wondering whether it would be nice to hold some 'real life' local get togethers in various parts of the country? Please contribute to the discussion in the 'General' forum'.
For another month,
Happy 'silversmithing'!

A sense of community Your 'Forum' Challenge: Ask/answer some
questions!
Fiona
The forum is a great place to ask questions, or respond to the questions of others. It is one fo the main reasons I set up NZSIlversmiths. As a beginner being able to ask questions is invaluable, and I'm sure it is not just me that has a lot fo questions!
It has been interesting to watch what type of discussions pop up, and so pleasing to recieve such expert advice and guidance from our experienced members.
Remember, there is no such thing as a dumb question, and if you are thinking it, chances are it will be of use to someone else as well!

Or, perhaps you have a question that you have been pondering for a while? Go and add it, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of answers you get.
You may not have realised, but from your 'My Page' you can also access a list of 'Discussions' you have been involved in. This is a quick and easy way of keeping track, rather than scrolling through the other discussions. You can also select the option for an email to let you know if someone has responded to your discussion.
August Blog Challenge:Your bench. Your workspace. How did it come about? What hot tips can you offer for storing tools and keeping a clean space... do you
keep a clean space? Take a pic of your bench and insert it in your blog. Should be fun
