I would take it as a great kindness if the fishermen would take care; I'm allergic to fish.

You should come fishing with me then. This will virtually guarantee no piscine contact whatsoever, for the duration of the weekend! ;-)

'i know already that i can fish but i havent even tried anything else....

Yeah, I'm thinking that as well, and the same goes for canoeing. However, since it's a skill sharing weekend, I'll bring my canoe and a spare paddle / lifejacket. If there are a few of us with boats, we should be able to manage a wee half day on Loch Earn at least, as it's only just down the road.

Cheers!!

Hi all,

Been holding back with this meet as I wasn't sure if I could manage but all good so booked my place yesterday for a pitch in the filed from Fri to Sunday. Will probably head up for lunch time.

Got quite a large salmon in the freezer so can bring that along. Look forward to catching up with everyone.

Still warming up after camping at Comrie last weekend

ooopss thanks for pointing out to me

 

[Toddy]

Actually, come to think of it, how do we want to organise the sales table stuff ?

I could bring a big sheet of labels and the owner puts their name and a price on it ??

Or do we just do the sales table stuff for an hour or so ? Once, twice ?? a day ??

We don't usually have this much dry space.

Typha described a trade blanket kind of bartering / sales he saw in Arizona at the Wintercount.......I'm sure we could find a blanket

cheers,
Mary

Hi Mary,why don,t we just do like we used to at Achray,we could set up 2 areas one for barter and one for selling,we could leave them out all day Saturday,and if people label their items then people can make inquiries with the owners about dosh or goods traded.

I know some might have reservations about leaving stuff lying about all day,if they have,maybe they could leave a list of what they have on offer on either table so folks could have a look,and then they could search out the owner and take it from there.

Just a thought.

Cheers Stuart.
