To all those who are unable to make it this time, there will be further Meets and we look forward to seeing you if you can make it up/down/across.

 

[shaggystu]

not sure if I'll make this meet, I'm suddenly very busy tattooing people
unless u all want traditional sharp stick and soot tattoos

it certainly wouldn't be the first time i'd tried, maybe you'd have better success than me, i just end up with scars, maybe i'm using the wrong kind of soot. now to work out the right place to start the thread..."which wood ash for primitive tattoos"

would it be ok if my mate tagged along to this meet? i don't think he's a member of the forums yet, but he was talking about joining so he could be already anyway, member or no, would i be ok to bring him along on friday/saturday (not sure when i'll be able to get there) for a night or two (don't know how long i'll be able to stay either!)

cheers

stuart (leaping around with excitement cos he's going camping at the weekend!)

... would it be ok if my mate tagged along to this meet?

As long as I know it isn't a problem; it happens quite regularly . It would help if you make sure that he knows your screen name - 'I'm ..... , shaggystu's mate' makes him identifyable to the rest of us.


Bringing along a non member (friend or family) is covered in this threads OP.

... Forum members are responsible for themselves, the kit they use and their own actions at a Meet – if you bring along family (or a friend) then you also accept responsibility for them and their actions whilst they are on site...

Somehow Brad Pitt always manages to find you when you least expect it Steve! Hopefully the cafe is open by now...

This should be an interesting one ...

Not able to bring the machine to this one - so I'll be a bit tired* ... but I get to be a 'Swing Thing' for the w/e.

And I just given up the dreaded weed :evilangel:. So far, it's going fine - as long as you're not three foot tall and squeaky :yikes: .
