In Need of Another Weekend Away?

[morch]

I know we are.

So……

Again, the basic idea is for a laid back meet, nothing rigidly organised, just kind of chilling out. There is a small wooded area, mainly pine trees but we’ve had a few hammocks up in there no problems and there is plenty of room for tents. A fire isn’t a problem, although firewood is in short supply and providing someone could bring a boss, there is plenty of room for archery. If anyone wanted to do a demo of some kind then we can talk about that too.

The farm is between New Cumnock and Kirkconnel on the border of Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway and could run from say Friday till Monday, although if anyone wanted to arrive earlier or stay later that’s not a problem either.

The dates would be the weekend of the 17, 18 & 19th of October. (Nathans birthday weekend)

Would there be anybody interested in this?

If so, you know the crack, just let me know

For anyone needing further info on the last weekend here, see the following:

Nice one Dave sounds like a plan, I'll bring along the hammock this time, now I know theres some nice trees to hang from . Anything planned for Nathans Birthday ? Let us know if Liz needs us to bring anything.

I thought snipers idea of bring his extraneous stuff was an excellent one, so I might do that if no-one has any objections.

Mark and Beth, dont know if your coming or not but if you are I can bring along the HH expedition and the JJ bridge hammock for Beth and others to try out, I like the look of the Clarke North American, may be next on my hit list

Regards

Stephen

I'm up for it too if work allows, cheers Dave are we doing as suggested at the last meet putting into a kitty for food, or bring our own?

 

[Barn Owl]

I'll be there by the looks of it.

Great, looking forward to meeting her Jon. Does that mean you'll be on your best behaviour?

Anything planned for Nathans Birthday ?

No nothing really, he's just happy to be sitting round the fire having a chat and a brew. Maybe something stronger since he'll be 17

Sounds good to me Stephen

Dave are we doing as suggested at the last meet putting into a kitty for food, or bring our own?

What ever people want to do. Liz is more than happy to cook but if the consensus is bring your own then thats ok too. We / she will need to know so she can devise her menu

[Toddy]

I can't come Sorry Dave and Liz and Nathan (Happy Birthday btw )
I'm already up to my ears in film stuff and I promised a while back to the Crannog folks that I'd come up for their primitive pyrotechnology event the weekend before.

Hopefully see you all soon though.

I was unsure where to post it to be honest, if you can think of a better place then I'm sure one of the friendly mods will move it for me

Would be great to see you again Doc, haven't seen you since the Dumfries & Galloway Game Fair in 2007

Yea I know M, but we just couldn't wait until the filming was finished to have another one, Liz has really gotten the bug We will of course be getting together before the end of the year, I'm sure How did it go in Latvia?

Hi Dave Maxine and i, will try are best for this one.

As an aside, you've no idea how pleased with myself i am now that I've worked out how to do these multi quote answers not that you'd ever guess

Thats a shame Russ, but there will always be next time

Trust you are well mate

Dave

 

[Toddy]

Wish I could I get in a real fankle with them.

Latvia was fun, I have invites to go back and to go to Norway, Hungary, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Peru.......I think I might stay home though, they all think I need an English translator for my Scots and here was me thinking I was pretty clearly spoken too
Latvia is beautiful, woods everywhere, and people use them too :appprove: but it's awfully flat and dry. Cost of living is about a quarter of here, and the people are quietly very helpful.
Needless to say I bought amber

atb,
Mary

Amber :yikes: i know someone who's gonna be very jealous when i go and tell her in a mo

Beth will definately not be there - I'll see what #1 son wants to do but I bet he will be up for it! I'll let you know.

Stephen - thanks for the offer of the hammock(s) - I'll definately take you up on that if we are there.

All excited now...
