Other than fetching wood and water it's not something we tend to do much of. On the other hand, clear up at the end ... 
... (It also might take me that long to set up my hammock and tarp for the first time
.
Pre-set up??
There should be plenty of people around to give advice. As with all set ups it's a case of more haste, less speed. Get it up, check it out by lying in it (hammock ties may stretch a bit on each first hanging), adjust if necessary, check again and so on - and don't worry about how long it takes to get it right; get it right and you should get a great nights kip.
The disadvantage of hammocks is that you radiate heat away in all directions, it would be to your advantage to bring an extra insulator with you (kip mat, wool blanket etc). Depending on what you bring, this can either between (or in) your bag and the hammock or slung (and tied) round the outside of the hammock. My heavy option is a reindeer skin between bag and hammock, my light option is a partially inflated thermarest inside my bag - sticking it in the bag means that it stays in place when I turn over
Ask away. Ive a DD Hammock, and nomally use a thermarest and sleeping bag, but this time im taking the cocoon to try out. And its ale for me!

There will be plenty of help at hand you just need to ask, or stand around looking bemused till someone asks if you need any assistance. Main thing is don't struggle or suffer in silence or discomfort.

Methinks I better buy shares in Threshers
Sod buying the shares.... buy the booze instead
not going to be able to make this due to family commitments. Sorry guys, hope you have a good time I've removed myself from the list.
You're telling me!Bad luck Bob.... it's so annoying when these things impinge upon our play time
It would have to be the same weekend as two bushcraft meets and the outdoors show.
