Meetups planned this year

[DaveBromley]

Hey chaps

Sorry I haven't been about much lately, work has been crazy.

I'm looking at putting dates together for thr coming year and hope to have a schedule in place by the end of this week.

My aim is to put on 1 per month with an extended week long meet over the summer holidays. So... I'm just checking with folk if there are any dates that I need to avoid?

Let me know and I'll ammend accordingly.

Now I know not everyone will be able to make every meet but if we get a schedule organnised it allows people to plan which meets they can get to and therefore get to as many as possible.

Looking forward to getting under a tarp again soon

Dave

Happy New Year to you, Dave. Better too much work than too little.

I'm going to be talking quite closely with Gray to makr sure we dont end up clashing

But it wouldbe nice to offer a couple of meets a month, that way if you cant make one you might make another

Happy new year to all too lol

Hope to see you all soon!

After the Cold Weather Bivvy at this month end I think Gray's concentrating more on the minimal (5.or less) aspect of things.

I am all for a basic pitchup in the cold but have little interest in reducing my load out further than it is already, so there may be room in any given weekend for both a minimalist meet and also a regular bushcraft/camping meet such as we have had at Giant's Seat & Middlewood. I dare say there are others who might feel the same way.

Just my two penn'orth.

yep,I agree with you Ian, theres traces of that now showing for the weekend at the end of Jan. I have opened it up and said use a tent if needs be, I just want members to enjoy the meets.

ian, I agree. Inexperienced as I am I feel I need more basic meet-ups, able to just practice slinging my hammock or piching my tnet, getting to be able to make fire without worrying, just getting used to pitching up for a couple of nights. And learning the bushie skills you guys take for granted . When I've got that together I'll be better able to "go wild".

Righto Folks

the new dates are up (open to change if they don't suit) I also want to get some one dayers in here and there this year, maybe hikes or visiting areas of interest to the group for days out (making some of the events a bit more family friendly) I would really value your input and look forward to hearing from you all.

Let me know what you think of the dates so that i can get them booked before those pesky scouts lol

Thanks guys and its good to hear you're all as ready to get out there as i am lol
