So far we've been booking for Friday and Saturday nights and whilst some folks have stayed all weekend, others have done single nights.

I think posts and posting got a bit cross wired between woodstock and Bushcraft Bailey just then . I hope this sorts it out .

Very pleased to see the level of interest so far.

So that we can try to accommodate as many as possible it looks like we'll be looking at a March Meet; but not the w/e of 14-16.

Although it's a fair way off I'd suggest, because it's a long weekend, the w/e 21st March. A stumbling block is that although it wouldn’t clash with the Middlewood Meet (which, subject to confirmation, is set for the following w/e) it’s probably too close - I'd prefer to give the opportunity to go to both Meets than force people to choose.

That suits me one or both if I can talk one of the senior care staff into to covering my shift

The thread's gone very quiet, so......
Bump .
Any Meet related questions or queries?

 

[Bodge]

Hi there
Middlewood has been set for 28th-30th march. Matt has confirmed these dates now.
Just for your information.

[Bushcraft Bailey]

I am just waiting to see what everyone else thinks with regards to dates, i can't make the weekend of the 21st, but wouldn't want to throw a spanner in...if it suits everyone else, i may even be able to pop down for a few hours on the evening.

 

[woodstock]

I hope the weather has picked up by then

Hi Bodge,

As it happens I'd been keeping an eye on the thread but thankyou for taking the time to pass on the info.


Hi Bushcraft Bailey,

I apologise ahead of time if this seems like I'm *having a go* at you.

The problem with waiting for others to speak up is that it can end up with everyone doing it. After all is said and done there's no point me dictating a date that is unsuitable to anyone but me (and it's a tad difficult to have a Meet on your own ). To reiterate what I said in a previous post - I want to try to accomodate the members of this forum as best I can. I make no promises; other than to try to do my best.
So please, if a weekend isn't suitable, feel free to speak up and voice an alternative date (or dates) which would be more suitable to yourself.

Been a tad wet today, has it not . I've done a couple of 'kit test' days recently - my kit shrugs the weather off better than I do these days!
