Hello all,
Thank for e-mail Nick - I dont automatically look here, so the promt was well needed! Will post up available dates asap, i.e. 2 moro.
Libby.
oh and also hadn't forgotten about project activities, I know I have already asked but are there any big preferences or something you'd really like to try?

I am only 1 voice but I suspect log splitting would be popular


PS July 6-7th may not be good
The Tour de France is in Kent that weekend

I think we were all fired up for the log cabin/shelter idea for next year.
! possible idea (it may be biting off more than we can chew) how about cleft log fences. Setting up uprights with two pairs of mortices and split and tapered horizontals. Ill try to find some photos of the type i mean. They are nicely rustic but very durable.

Cheers
Nick

Hi,
you are right about the tour de france Mike!
however....
free dates are abound now.... 7/8th, 21/22nd and 28/29th all up for grabs.

poss ideas so far.... let me know your thoughts.

-seats around pinetum (any sort, adventurous or normal rustic)
- shelters of any description using whats around.... we also have a huge area of braken which could be harvested and thatched.
- There are a few fallen trees including a very large oak (chainsaw job) which could be turned into solid furniture in situ.
- splitting is possible, we have irons etc.
- fencing is always useful, internal and boundary
- coppicing in winter
- drinking tea and eating fine fare....

details of what exactly used/design/where positioned can be discussed as and when...
Libby.

Thanks Libby


Ok folks
I say 21/22 would be ok as its the only w/e i have free and yes I know its the w/e before bushmoot.
I guess we should go with the most popular choice so PM me or post a reply over the w/e and well take a look next week and decide based on numbers.

We'll have a serious pow-wow about project then and give ourselves some targets

Of course all are welcome to come and give date choices whether youre a regular or first timer - so dont hold back

Cheers
Nick

I can make any weekend in July, and being a bit fresh do not mind what activities we do as they will all be new to me.

Snake and myself are overnighting on the 7th of July any regulars are welcome to join us we may leave mid morning Sunday if not many want to come . we are also okay for any other weekends you decide to arrange as all of my Sats are free apart from the Bushmoot.

 

[Richie O]

I now can't make any dates as I am going to Scafell Pike 5th - 8th and then there is a pointless rota change at work which totally up my rest day pattern!!! Arrgghhh!!!
Hope to see some of you in August maybe?

I can make the 7th no problem. I have work on the 8th so I'll have to drive like hellfire to get back to Maidstone in the morning but I'll definately be there.

I'd be interested in the 22nd as well if it goes ahead. It'd be a good 'last chance' before the Bushmoot to get things sorted.

Thanks for arranging these dates guys, good work

 

[nickg]

Ok guys if no-one else has input Ill go for the 21/22nd. You can do an overnighter but I can only make the sunday as its the Sgt Mess summer ball on Sat eve.

Well do some cooking as usual and sort the rest of the agenda as we go.

Bloodline are you overnighting at the Pinetum or somewhere else if so lets make it that W/end

Cheers
Nick

There's no way you're gonna make it on Sunday

 

[OutdoorNewbie]

I can do the WE 21/22 and overnight if still ok too come, can you supply directions.

Regards

Darren

Just to confirm Little Hall is booked for the night of the 7th of July we are arriving early afternoon sleeping over and leaving 1st thing Sunday morning. It is just an overnighter we are not stopping all day Sunday! I will also be able to come to the 21st of July.

 

[Twoflower]

21/22 would be good for me too, if i can get there on public transport!

 

[Laurence Dell]

I should be able to make that date too

21/22 would be good for me too, if i can get there on public transport!

Wherabouts in London/Kent border are you as I may be able to give you a lift either from home or a train station on route, my nearest station is Longfield.

PM me with more details and we can discuss.

What's going on with the next meet guys?
Has the site been booked for next weekend (21st/22nd)?
Or are we waiting till after the Bushmoot now?

 

[bloodline]

If Nick G has not booked it I will try and book it 2mora.

 

[nickg]

I Emailed Libby last week to confirm 21/22nd but I didnt get confirmation yet.

Proceed as planned for the 21/22nd unless you hear to the contrary from me on this forum, I sure there's no problem.
