North Wood Christmas meet 16-18 December 2011

[woodspirits]

Back in September i opened up a discussion on the regulars sub forum, the subject was about the possibility of a temporary lifting of restrictions concerning gathering wood for individual fires. This was only for the winter meets of December and February.

The response was mixed about 50/50, some for and others happy the way it was. We also discussed it at the last meet with similar results, my sole reason for suggesting this was a possible repeat of the severity of last Decembers meet and the psychological benefits of having your own fire in such conditions without having to bring big bundles of wood in.

So, going on your response coupled with the relatively 'mild' weather, we will stick with our current guidelines. For clarity on these please refer to the relevant heading in post 1. If you want your own fire, anything above thumb size you bring in. Any new or recent members still unsure, just ask me or any of the regulars.

Just had a look at the list and need to ask; Are there any kids going to this meet?
I need to Give Adam the choice of attending if the weather is looking grim. If he is the solo youngster it will effect his answer.

Cheers.

Cheers Steve, thanks for the reminder, see you there.

 

[Wayland]

Sorry but may have to pull out of this one, which I'm gutted about, because I have some good news to celebrate with you all.

 

[sasquatch]

Nice one Gary, common sense prevailed then? Good stuff if that's the case!

Bodge, I don't know about anyone else but no Joseph this time round...won't be there until Saturday myself.

 

[Wayland]

It did indeed, good to know the system works from time to time.

 

[sasquatch]

Easy for an outsider to be optimistic about it as the outcome doesn't affect them but I always figured things had to go in your favour. Well done, now you can fully enjoy your Christmas!

 

[MartinK9]

Sorry you might not make it Gary, but fantastic news on the other hand.

 

[udamiano]

Fantastic news Wayland, pleased for you mate

 

[cowboy]

Congratulations!!!!

 

[Twodogs]

Good news Gary ,,,yarrrrrrrrrrrrr
Shame your not coming see you next time
Cliff

 

[TurboGirl]

Are there any kids going to this meet?

My Youngling is not coming... until I'm sure of my set up skills, he doesn't want to risk being put off by having Mom freeze and soak him in the name of experimentation... oh and he's been promised a shoot this weekend instead of just scoring so I don't think I coulda competed with that anyhow Bodge, come anyway, a little time off is a good thing

 

[FerlasDave]

There will be plenty of big kids going!

 

[TinkyPete]

Congrats Gary glad to hear

 

[Bodge]

Not long now change of plan I will be down tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Andy BB]

I'll be arriving Friday pm. Wonder if - for the first time - I'll be able to put tent up in the light?!

Any preference for booze? Options from some more Tsiporo (actually I'll bring that anyway - wouldn't seem like a midlands meet without that!), some weird cherry liqueur, a bottle of Russian brandy or some French Calvados............Oh, and save your beer cans - I'll try to remember to bring my penny-burner tool-making kit (scissors and drawing pins) if anyone wants one!

 

[WombleWill]

Will be arriving Saturday morning, is it bring your own food??

Will.
