Chris enjoyed himself so much he even wants to come again in December ... it does though depend on which weekend his Explorer unit get allocated for bagpacking at Sainsbury's - they are saving for a 12 man tentipi (yep it's a Scout thing!)

[Andy2112]

I'm up for that Bernie, great idea mate. What you reckon the cost each would be ?

 

[Wayland]

Sound like a good plan.

Might be worth suggesting everybody brings a bag of charcoal as well though.

 

[Andy2112]

Charcoal ? better heat source ?? Wayland ?

 

[Bernie Garland]

It all depends on how many want to,i'll find out tomorrow how much for the pig,and tell you the cost and then its the more the merrier and the price per person go's down.

Count me in for it Bernie

What sort of size bag do you suggest we bring Gary?

 

[Wallenstein]

Sound lovely - happy to chip in for pig-onna-stick and the charcoal needed to roast it.

 

[Bernie Garland]

The pig would have to go on about 5or 6in the morning for it to be ready teatime,so a big one But if we could get big logs the length of the pig and a good supply you should be al right

Up to you Bernie but Charcoal might be a reliable back up as we've cleaned a lot of the good wood out this last year.

If there's Not a lot of wood Gary it will have to be charcoal,but i wouldn't know how much we'd need as iv'e always used logs.

[Wallenstein]

Is it something Decorum could look into ahead of time? If the site management are doing any maintenance in the wooded areas, they may be willing to set aside some suitable wood, especially if we undertake to chop it up? That way we're not limited to the stuff we can find on Pitch 11 (there's another 40-odd acres to choose from) - I'm up there next weekend, and Decorum is there a fair bit, so we could always arrange to drag some stuff into the wood store on 11 the week before the Meet.

 

[Wayland]

If every body that came brought a 5 or 10 kilo bag with them, that's a lot of heat and we can always take home stuff we don't use.

Sounds a brill idea Gary.

Bernie

 

[firecrest]

or... if the heat is tremendous, we could chuck a few other things on there to

 

[spamel]

Well up for some pig action! An early start on a cold winters' morn to start a fire and commence pig cooking sounds like a good way to get rid of the hangover!

I think charcoal is an excellent idea, I'll source a bag myself too. What shall we bring along to go with it? Is it cater for yourself buns/cobs wise or will we get a job lot in? Relish, sauce, root vegetables, etc?

 

[LazySod]

Just a quick note ......

Netto are selling 5kg bags of charcoal for £1.99

(Don't know if that's cheap or not.)

 

[Mesquite]

Looks like there's enough interest for the spit roast pig so we better get a list together so Bernie can work out the cost per person


As usual, cut and paste yourself into each list
