Greetings Lord Harold,

I'm not sure from this whether you are  interested in starting some  
sort of formal guilds, just looking to correspond with people with  
similar interests or looking for general info on these topics.

If the latter, there are files on most of these subjects in the  
Florilegium. See my sig line below for the address if you've never  
been there. For instance, here are a few files which occur to me:

> 1. TUMBLING/VINTING

I'm not sure I see a connection between tumbling and vinting, unless  
the former is what you do if you do too much of the latter.
For the latter, check the various files in the BEVERAGES section such  
as:

I hope this gives you some info to start from.

If anyone has written any how-to articles or history-of articles on  
these subjects, I'd love to consider them for the Florilegium, for  
just such inquiries.  These would be good articles for apprentices to  
consider writing to show they know the subject or to begin  
researching a subject with.  After all, I do accept updates as you  
learn more about a subject.  (hint, hint, Laurels :-) )
