'The Outdoors Show' Meet 2010

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Nah - that is "Post Office Giro" to many

"Work" - the evil that the few face so that the many can be scrounging dole-bludgers (not counting the genuinely needy here!). One of the harsh realities of life.
" When the going gets tough - the tough go to work"
"When all other sources of revenue dry up - try working!"

Or a pension; meaning that someone no longer needs to work:rolleyes:
 
Definition of work:

exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity;

Is bushcraft work then?

PREPER........ :)

P.S. Should I should be working instead of typing this :confused:

goodjobWell organised Dudes. I will be coming Saturday PM after a quick trip to the NEC with the Son in Law. Not camping though as our local (Cambridgeshire) group has a meet the same weekend, at Little Abbington Scout Camp, near Cambridge.
I'll bring a few homemade blades including some draw, spoon and whittler knives if I can get them finished in time to swap/sell/trade/what have you if thats OK? See what else I can rustle up as well. May have a few drawstring bags

As you're visiting and not staying over night I've dropped you off the Meet list - it frees up a space if someone needs it. Thanks for mentioning it goodjob .

Hi Decorum, as Whittlerkev Re 'Camb meet' stated..
Me and Badgeringtim are organising the Cambridgeshire Bushcrafters into shape along the same lines as the respectible Rough Close site, it's our first ever meet (Little Abington), and as such I can't miss it! Anyway, the only free date asap was the same weekend as yours! (in future we will try not to make them clash!)
As I've already booked the time off, and want my week to be a Bushcraft bonanza, I'd still like to come over for Thurs/Fri nights (Dont wana miss you guys!) but I'll be departing early sat to rush over for the 'kickoff first ever meet of the Camb group'.. I hope it doesn't inconvenience you.. Point is, will this pos free up a position for a weekender spot only person?? (or would you rather me not come at all, being a traitor en all!)

I'll still be there for trading flint bits and bobs, odds and sods thurs/Fri!..But Jimbo.. You'll have to get someone else to spoon you sat night I'm afraid! :)
 
Phil,

I have got a bag of army surplus that i could do with bringing along to sell / trade. Its mainly shirts, a jacket or two and a few other odds and sods.

I was thinking about bringing a large camp table to put it on and was wondering as I have two of these whether it is worth bringing both as they might be useful in the communial area if anyone else has stuff they want to lay out to sell / trade?

If you want me to bring both along send me a PM and I'll pack them for the trip.

Not long now lads.

I could list all the gear I am bringing but it might be easier to to bring it along and offer it on a first come first serve basis if anyone is interested.

Hope this is ok?

Not an inconvenience at all old boy. At the end of the day you're helping to both extend folks chances to get to a Meet and also widening the choice of different grounds goodjob . It's also appreciated that folk mention that they either can't make it or, as in your case, that the situation has changed goodjob .


... will this pos free up a position for a weekender spot only person?? ...

Using K.I.S.S, the list will stay at 50 (plus extras).
When all is said and done, it's likely that we'll get between 66 and 75% of those on the list attending - but I'm not in a position to up the numbers so that we get 50 attending (if that makes sense :confused:). TBH, I don't want to go down the route of splitting down the available spaces for each night.

:lmao: daft burger :lmao:
