Midlands Winter '08 Meet.

[decorum]

So ... anyone up for a winter Meet?

This is not the Outdoor Show Meet - there'll be another thread for that Meet (The Midlands OUTDOORS Show Meet thread is here).

I'll have more idea about available dates soon.
Mesquite has already asked me to manouvre around his Meet -

Following on from the success of the first Herts / North London meet and queries from people about when the next one will take place … for the first weekend of December from Friday 5th, to Sunday 7th.

- so it won't be the weekend 5 - 7 December.

Any takers?


EDIT: Forgot the relevant info, which is -

......

Location is Rough Close Campsite.

Price is £3.60 per person per night.


Family friendly - so your youngsters are welcome!


Can people please bring a bit of spare change rather than just notes - I have to use public transport to get to work during the week.

Each of the pocket campsites has a designated area for ground fires; to keep the site tidier and easier to use - outside of the designated areas contained fires can be used (raised half drums and trail stoves etc).
I believe that during drought that the site retains the privillege to ban ground/open/open (etc) fires for as long as they deem fit for the safety of both those on site and of the site itself - I really can't see this being a problem at the moment . The site, according to MAGIC, is a mix of Ancient and Semi-Natural and Ancient Replanted woodland – There is a SSSI which shares its borders with the S/E corner of the site - the MAGIC site is being worked on at the moment but I'll enable a link as soon as I can......

I'd be up for it, 6th December is my birthday which would have been nice, but I should be good for most dates given enough time to work my charm on the wife!

Captain Chunder will not be along for the ride!

I'm up for it Decorum.

Not got anything else planned apart from possibly the office christmas lunch on the 12th but to be honest I'd rather spend it in a wood with some good friends than with some of the people in my office.

Oh, and thanks for accomadating my meet

[Wallenstein]

Definately interested in a pre-xmas meet... might not make a whole weekend, but will certainly aim for at least one night.

 

[LazySod]

He could give Bruce Parry a run for his money that lad!

 

[LazySod]

What the hell did he eat?

 

[Mesquite]

What the hell did he eat?

I think he basically tried every beverage going that was around the fire then he got hungry and started sampling the cherries in the cherry vodka. Spamel was not a happy bunny the next morning when he saw his kit ........

 

[firecrest]

What the hell did he eat?

something very alcoholic and very bright red!

 

[Mesquite]

something very alcoholic and very bright red!

It was definitely the cherries then.......

 

[woodstock]

Well up for another one count me in

 

[Bodge]

Oh go on then, dates permitting.

Bodge

 

[JimN]

Yes please (I think I'm signing up for everything at the moment, but I'm determined to get out )

 

[spamel]

It was definitely the cherries then.......

Yes. The resulting mix of rice, rook boobs, cherries and god alone knows what else, all stained a gaudy purpley, reddy, pinkish colour was something I really didn't want to have to see. He's a dirty little monkey! and deserves all he gets! including a bit of twak action :twak: I brought the kit home as he would only either leave it for a few weeks and it would rot or he'd destroy it in the process of cleaning it.

One more time Mr Twak!

:twak:

I thank you!
