Hi George...good to see you onboard. Really disappointed that I couldn't make the weekend. Spoke to Colin yesterday about another group booking in June so that should be a another great party if it goes ahead. Catch up soon,

Hello all, I think I did the correct thing by being a girlie and going home on Saturday night. I had a great day and it was good to meet up with you all, even though it was just a small group. Toddy remember to cut the tatties a bit smaller they cook quicker.
Love to all
Denise

PS Sophie keep up the Poi practice as did great.:You_Rock_

Yeah it was a good weekend, although by late Friday afternoon I thought I was gonna be there on my lonesome ;) luckily Stuart and Sophie turned up, so I did'nt feel a complete plonker under that big parachute by myself :eek:.

I didnt take many pics, but I did take a video of Denise on the fire poi plus a couple of stills of Toddy.

George I'm still owing you for the weekend, PM me.

BTW I think the parachute needs to be a minimum of 3 ft prefer 6 ft higher, theres another fork further up on the branch I used, looks about right, but proof will be in the trying.

I also had the second generation of my flat pack stove along, I was quite chuffed with it, report to follow.

The forked branch further up was the one I put the Parachute over the last time ;)
You did well for a first attempt :D

Thanks for a grand time out :D
