Hi all,

just had a response from Middlewood...

Hi Simon I can book you in for 31st Oct to 2nd of Nov but there will be a live role play group on aswell There will also be a bonfire on the car park on the Saturday night I will book you in let me know if this is okThe prices are £2 per person per night for scouts £4 per person per night for others I presume you do not need any buildings. I would need to speak to you about which sites to use. My home telephone number is 0161 xxxxxxif you would like to give me a ring to discuss details

LARP - plastic swords and axes.... hope they don't choose to attack the wrong campsites, especially after a night of passing around bottles of home brewed / distilled liquors!

I fully understand if any of you choose to back out... No problems at all!

Simon

 

[shocks]

Bernie Garland has just been in touch and has offered one of his knives as a raffle prize for this meet! He will post pictures at various stages of the construction.

Tickets will only be sold to members at the meet, with the draw taking place on Sunday morning.

ALL proceeds go to BcUK with ticket price to be confirmed shortly....

So if you are coming, bring some spare cash!

How good is Bernie :You_Rock_ He's always doing this kinda stuff...The dude is a rock star I might get the Larpers drunk Hehehehehehehe

 

[Chris G]

Wow! Will have to bring more than just camping fees this time.

Talking of which, are we planning to have any tutorials or a bring and buy/swap shop this time?

Chris

 

[SimonM]

Bring & buy sounds good.... I've got loads of DPM gear to ditch!

I'm sure some tutorials will just happen at some point, but if anyone is wiling to offer their services....

Simon

 

[Chris G]

I'm happy to demonstrate the (unknown to Dave Watson or Ray Mears!) Egyptian bow drill technique which IMHO is much easier for the beginner/person with cold hand & a lack of energy to use to get a coal.

Google it, or look on Youtube.

Chris
