Longbow seminar with Pip Bickerstaffe

Did anyone go to the longbow seminar with Pip Bickerstaffe in Hampshire on the 9th June?
If so what did you think of it?

I thought it was interesting and worthwhile attending, although I didn't agree with everything said. There was one person there who I wish had kept his mouth shut. He insisted on arguing that Pip was wrong because he didn't agree with the Korean way of teaching. This archer couldn't accept that Longbow and Recurve were different, and may need different techniques.

Also if there was an event to raise money for the Mary Rose based on longbow shooting, in the Portsmouth area, would you want to go, what would you like it to be, and how much would you pay?
The reason I asked this is Pip would be prepared to help out in such an event, and I can probably get a venue with outdoor and indoor facilities, and we'll work on something if the interest is there.
