Was a fun meet, and i've found out chigger bites can take 24hrs to start to itch !!

 

[Wayland]

Great meet again Phil.

The mini workshops worked well.

I got chiggered again as well.

 

[Elines]

Yep - good weekend again and the sessions added a new element, giving an opportunity to learn even more stuff than usual (no pics as forgot my camera - and not yet worked out how to download pics from my camera)

[Mesquite]

Great meet... had a really enjoyable time seeing old and new faces around the campfire Sadly no pics from me this time as I forgot to bring my camera

Thanks to Phil for facilitating it so well as usual and to Wayland for the use of his chute over the communal area

As Wayland said the mini workshops worked well and people seemed to enjoy them also. Hopefully they'll become a new addition to future meets, fingers crossed.

As for chiggers... so far just 2 bites but time will tell

Awww guys, we had the most excellent time, thank you, everyone, soooo much for your wonderful reception of the noobs! We've come away with so much inspiration, chuckled at so many good tales overheard at the fire, received much needed and very sensitivly given advice....and lovely momentos which will be used frequently and with fond memories of a first meet. I was glad the sun was smiling on the righteous today for you

Your informal workshops were brill, everyone had their own lil revelation moments 'shroom walking and fire starting. Thank you especially for the forebearance shown as I repeatedly performed my amazing spider-on-acid dance and song routine over your guyropes!

 

[TurboGirl]

Having a repeat try at uploading some pics Dratted Opera crashes every time I try *curses!*

And still no luck More research required....
