Middlewood Brass Monkeys' Weekend - Friday 30 Jan - Sunday 1 Feb 2009

[SimonM]

Hi all,

Sorry I've not been around to answer questions - I have been laid up with flu and have been praying for death to arrive quickly!

With regard to fires - They are off ground because the soil is peat and the last thing we want is an underground fire!

What about wood arrangents at the site?

There is a wood pile - but it is usually pallet type wood that burns out quite quickly.
Can I suggest that people bring a net bag each for use on the main camp fire? 1 bag each (cost about£3) would give us a nice fire to sit around in th evening.

Hehe, e's appy drinkin owt.

Hey, I resemble, sorry resent, that remark!

See you all there!

Simon

Hi Kipperfeet, welcome, I would offer to give you a lift but I am going straight from work Friday night, but I look forward to catching up with you there. Maybe we could catch up at a later date on a local bimble.

If you are bringing sloe gin you will be made MOST welcome by many.

I will be bringing some more of my home brew for those that enjoyed it last time and some gluvine, Hey Mad Dave, Boz coming again? (More Jaggermister Mmmmmmm)
How's the spoon holding up for him or has he broken that too?

I will be in hammock this time for sure (but will have my tent as back up for justin ) I hope to have a new tarp by then too, so my Tatonka tarp 3 may be up for sale as I know a few were interested in it.

I am right looking forward to this one.

Oh, Simon. Is Bernie bringing another hog?? If so put me down for the pigfund.

Booked time of for the moot though

Hope you all have fun.

you'll love it - honest!

Simon

 

[Wayland]

Looking like a good crowd.

Especially with the other lot too.

 

[Shewie]

Can someone put a couple of traffic cones out near two trees for me, I don`t think I`m gonna get there until Saturday morning and I don`t fancy ground dwelling.

 

[Chris G]

Especially with the other lot too.

Did I miss something? Who else is there?

 

[mentalnurse]

i think there is some LARPS running around the woods with plastic swords and funny cloths.... they will blend in just fine with us!!!!!

 

[Shewie]

Did I miss something? Who else is there?

A large portion of those who came last time but don`t frequent this site anymore, and the LARPers

 

[SimonM]

Quick mental maths and I think there will be about 40 or so of us. I haven't checked the list on both sites fully - but some members have posted on both sites.

Combine us with the LARPers (Time Warp theme - hopefully Rocky Horror Show, but more likely to be time travelling cavemen!) and it will be a good weekend again.

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

My problem now is I have to unpack my bergan, which has been tormenting me since New Year. I packed it for a night out and got flu, so never went or unpacked it!
