Sussex Group Christmas Meet 2012

[spandit]

For some of us that will be about lunch time then.

That's a bit unfair of you to single out SimonH on a public forum...

 

[Simon H]

I've been getting up earlier since the clocks went back, but I don't need much persuasion for a lay in. Spandit if you bring me over a nice strong cup of tea about half nine I'll get up...

Did I say it was SimonH? You just read into that what you wanted.

Thanks for explaining the joke

 

[jackcbr]

You're welcome. I thought it best too.

 

[Simon H]

No need to squabble chaps, I don't mind which of you brings the tea...

Owing to circumstances beyond my control (and a lot of nagging) I wont be able to make the weekend.
Have a good one chaps. Merry Chrimbo.

So no venison or gammon. What are Neumo and Pete bringing or are we all going to go hungry?

There's been various illnesses in the house, so what's happening with us is all up in the air (for a change!), didn't want to put anything down on the bring list and have you guys relying on it.

A ham? A goose?

 

[crosslandkelly]

I'll be there between 3-4 pm Friday, to set up my tarp in some daylight. Hope I don't steal someones usual pitch. Any one else arriving Friday.

 

[Peter_t]

ok will get us a ham

I'll aim to get there before you so you don't steal my pitch (the new one as I pulled the tree down last time!). It's a big wood, I'm sure you can find a space (only one incident so far of someone failing to find two trees... )

 

[spandit]

Turkey is out of the freezer, let's hope it defrosts fully before Saturday!

 

[Hugo]

Hope you guys have a good time this weekend, remember to stay warm, this involves burning wood and keeping busy.
I remember last years Christmas meet, freezing it was.
