Next Midlands Meet

[Wayland]

Are they better than the Queens sausages then Gary?

And likewise, I hope you make it down Stephen. It'll be good to see you again

They are the Queen's sausages.

Best sausages I've tried anywhere.

Ratbag started a thread called 'A few bits will be for sale at Midlands meet' in order to try to sell off a few bits and pieces whilst at the Meet. In case anyone has missed it this is the link.

Ok I've decided a little road trip is in order I did a little overtime (something I never do, ask my MD ), so shall depart for the "Saff" around 11:30, hopefully missing out on the Birmingham home time traffic. I ran the route on mapsource and it says 3:40 mins, I really dont believe it, but we'll see.

Gary I'll call into Tebay mate, see whats on offer, anything, anyone else ?

BTW the guys at work have just done a group buy from a famous butcher in Stornaway, and theres a spare 1.4 kilo blackpudding going, so I'll bring that down, Gary will eat it if no-one else

Aragorn, looking forward to seeing your stove, I'm bringing mine down as well, nowhere near as nicely made as yours is, still waiting on getting a laser cut one done.

Singe if you are of a mind could you bring your samples along mate, I'm after a leather cutter, as in tracing patterns etc.

Off to pack, looks like it could be a glorious weekend weather wise, looking forward to it.

Exellent, ive just been comfirmed that i can come for th saturay night and sunday morning.

As you mentioned an interest is having a go with one I've lobbed my fire piston into my kit - I suspect T1tch will have one with him too.

 

[Aragorn]

knew you'd see sense stephen will be good to see you again

 

[addo]

Good to have you along stephen, rather partial to a bit of black pud myself.

 

[spamel]

I'll pass on the black pud, should I bring a haggis?

 

[firecrest]

Hope Im not too late for this but can I buy some lamp wick off anyone at the meet? Not much point in me bringing my lamp without, I hadnt realised Id no wick left and nowhere stocked them today

 

[Wayland]

Great to hear you're making it Stephen.

You'll probably pass me on the motorway somewhere....

 

[Scrumpy]

Should I bring a haggis?

Depends if it's a fresh water or a salt water one, what are you offering?

 

[PeterH]

What I'd suggest is that people ask Peter if he'd prefer a trade or a small fee - Feel free to register interest in this thread but please don't innundate him with P.M's (Nothing has been said, it's just me trying to be pre-emptive).

Sorry so busy at work not checked the thread all week; I've managed to book this afternoon as leave so we will be up mid evening. Good idea about the tube cutter as I will prob forget to look thru the toolbox for one this afternoon!

Chris, my son, wants to use camping/bushcrafting as his "skill" for Bronze Duke of Edinburgh so he will gladly "trade" it for any tutorials, ticks of the trade etc. - Not that any of us expect anything for passing on what we know but it is nice to have something to offer in return.

Looking forward to our first BCUK meet

 

[Wallenstein]

Woohoo! Two hours left at work then it's off home to pack

I managed to get a full weekend pass from SWMBO too, which is a bonus.

 

[Mesquite]

[addo]

See you all in the morning. Thats if I ever finish packing!

 

[Ratbag]

Nah, it's a lesser-spotted great-crested albino haggis. I seen it with me own two eyes.

[spamel]
