Can we just confirm what's happening here, I don't mind cooking for one day, say Saturday. Is that OK with everybody?
I was thinking of doing two main pots, one for vegetarians and one for carnivores. The omnivores can mix them together if they like....
It's how we usually run things on Medieval camps and it works for most people.
I can shop locally sometime on Saturday and depending on numbers we can have a whip round to cover the food costs. (I think we should pay Dave for the meat for a start, it's only fair.)
I'm bringing pots and hardware but my usual rule is if I cook, I don't do the washing up. Fair enough?...
I also need to know if there are any special requirements etc.
Judging by the previous responses, i was thinkin of just bringing a couple of shoulders and some ribs and bits n pieces. If i'm wrong and you'd rather a whole one you will have to let me know as it'll be getting slaughtered on Tuesday and i'll have to make sure its all ready for when i leave early on Thursday morning.
As for payment, you can either all make a small payment and Tony can have however much there is as a donation towards BCUK or people can make their own contributions directly to Tony. The stuff Nathan and I learn on these meets is more than enough payment for me.

Dave
Dave, can you bring along any bones and spare grisly bits for making an initial stock please.
Just chuck them in a separate bag and we'll boil them all up. Some of the bones may be useful for making stuff too.
Joints sound fine to me I don't think we'll need the whole carcass.

How does everyone go on about cooking. know there will probably be some communal meals on the go. Was thinking about personal open fires for cooking breakfast, brews etc. Also what facilitys are there, Toilets, washing, washing up etc.

I am happy to join in on a communal meal and will do whatever chores are required to help. I am sure my brother Mike B wil do likewise.
I will not be putting up anymore posts as I am Traveling to Loch Lomond first thing in the morning
So see you all at Achray

Personal fires could only be used on the existing fire spots so you are far better using the main fire point or using a stove.
There are no facilities. No toilets, no water supply, no washing facilities. Water from the loch can be drunk if it is boiled but that is about it.
I have a portaloo I can bring along, we can always put a screen around it, but is there somewhere to empty it? Don't fancy paddling back with a full one

We did, but it belonged to the previous users of the site. It just hadn't been collected.

A portaloo could be arranged but unfortunately I do not have the time to call round. I am happy to contribute to one if it is arranged though.
If we have a portapotty type thing it could probably be emptied at the toilet block of the forest drive but I need to check if we can get access to it. The felling work might be taking place there.

Josh, you can either leave the kids bow at the meet or just bring it next time. I have the DeerQuest DSC1 CD Rom for you but could post it, or leave it for next time.
Mary, I'll have Ross (nearly 9) and Andrew (7) with me.
Could I ask if anyone is bringing an archery target? I have a 1 metre square one but can't get it on the roof rack because of the canoe sitting there.....

You can reinforce a target quite easily by strapping cardboard boxes to the front face.
In fact you can make a servicable target from scratch with corrogated cardboard,we used to use them for field targets all the time.
