Middlewood - Spring 2008 Meet...

[Wayland]

Sorry lads (and lassies) I can't make that date. I'm up North doing a course with Patrick that weekend. Have fun.

 

[Matt Weir]

Thanks again for all responses but be aware that the dates aren't yet confirmed so may yet change (as the original Middlewood meet did )

For the moment I'll say yes. The dates are good, but I'll have to watch for change.

This weekend falls on the same week as I finish uni and hopefully start work as a qualified nurse on the monday. So if i can make it it will be a huge celebration but I wont be getting too drunk as i need to be complus mentus on monday and not spaced out as I usually am following a trip away with you lot lol,

It's great to see more positive posts guys

Spam: I think you're right and we should use the area you suggest as I'm sure you said it was much drier up there. I have Corr's big white tarp that we used last time if we need to erect some cover.

OK then, I know it's early days yet and at this point pretty much everyone is a 'maybe' but I think a list is in order to gauge interest...

@ Matt
Matt, you mentioned that dates were not set in stone yet. are they likely to change now?
I have to get some planning done and earn some pass outs, also I have some driving and fork lift courses to sort out and dont want any of these to clash.The courses will be mid week but it will be frowned upon if i'm missing all week and w/end too
I also note that there is a midlands meet brewing and hope they don't clash:theyareon

Hi Bodge,

I still haven't had any feedback yet mate. I'll ring them again this weekend.

 

[mentalnurse]

hi matt ,
when i was at middlewood last i noticed a rifle range would it be poss to bring down my air rifle and use it on the range ( open to any one who would like a go) the range is out of the way and set up well for safety so shouldent be to many probs but best ask first.
thanks carl

 

[spamel]

Good question, I would bring my Rapid if it is OK'ed, I'll ask Ratbag if he wouldn't mond bringing his and I could nick my brothers for the weekend too so plenty of different rifles to have a go on. At least my brothers' rifle is set at the legal limit now!

 

[Matt Weir]

Good point chaps, I have a couple of rifles (one old and one new) that I was thinking of bringing.

I think it's a goer.

I will also bring the archery gear so a-shootin'-we-shall-go.

Sounding like good fun

Just ordered a DD hammock through the Group Buy - so looking forwards to having a go with that - though of course I want to get out with it before then

Just to let you know, I'm a trained First Aider - and while this won't be inside of an office I'll be happy to help out if there are any injuries (provided I'm not too drunk of course ).

I might also be persuaded to give a few sample Reiki treatments at some point over the weekend... Not Bushcraft-related of course, but might be of interest to some people..
