Wakey wakey boys it's almost spring and the mead is fine!

 

[mayobushcraft]

Hi Craven ( Paul ) I was getting worried about you!!! Have'nt seen or heard from you for ages!!!

Ref Meet-up shin-dig , Harry Hawk had the idea of a Beachstyle forage and BBQ Session until the wee hours , which probably translates as go down to the beach, mooch around until someone suggests a drink or two then sit around a fire , spinning up some kebabs and watching the Sun take a burning header into the green-blue horizon.

So anyone up for that??

Trying to sort a date out, do want to go too soon ( so that as many peeps as possible can make it ) and also dont want to go too distant as it seems so far off ( then no-ones pays constant attention )

I've looked it up and apparently the 21st Of June ( Monday ) is the Longest day so could do the 19th/20th or is that too far off???????

Ideas for dates and venues appreciated if interested.

the weekend i toddle off to glastonbury festival for 10 days, soz wont make it... sounds fun though

 

[Jaysurfer]

No Jon Glastonbury is the weekend after...

 

[jonajuna]

No Jon Glastonbury is the weekend after...

for you punters maybe...... im there from the weekend before the gates open... its nice and green then, never rains for the crew

 

[Jaysurfer]

well i don't work or pay!
I just turn up and put my feet up!

Unfortuantely the weekend before i have the Round The Island Yacht Race so can't make it.

 

[TeeDee]

Its only a rough date , suggest another one and we can make it happen.

 

[Matt.S]

Sounds good to me.

 

[craven]

Yeah I'd be up for a beach do!! As for dates I'll prob be able to sort most as long as I have a few weeks notice!

 

[Matt.S]

Is anyone interested in bivvying-up and turning it into an all-nighter?

 

[Jaysurfer]

if it's a wknd i am free i'll have a camp out on the beach...

 

[TeeDee]

OK, lets leave the date alone for abit , next question ,Where+ Which Beach?

 

[Jaysurfer]

I know good place in North Cornwall but i'm sure there are also god places in Devon

Yep , I'm all up for going to where offers the best for all of us beit North Coast/South coast , Devon Cornwall etc

Wonder if we would get 'bumped' by the local police if our numbers were in excess of a certain amount?

only if you have amplified music with a predominately repetitive beat

maggie was very careful not to offend the sensibilities of anyone other than those that liked a bit of dance music

well to be fair, she didn't give a damn about not just cheesey quavers but just about anyone who didn't have a hyphenated name and worked in the city

 

[harryhawk]

I too am off to Glasto the Wednesday after 21st so that's out for me too. Now I'm over 40, been going for 20+years and it's the 40th anniversary Glasto, I shall make it my last one......So I'm going to go out with a bang:vio:

It was Bernie's (bhoffman) original idea about a beach meet

Some nice beaches your way TeeDee, the trek down to Western beach is a good one, not so sure about coming back up with a hang-over though

Somewhere central for all Westcountry 'crafters? Do we need plenty of rock pools? All nighter? Suggestions?
