I understand totally, I was not trying to get a reduced price, just trying to give a little back for the knowledge I picked up Friday.
Suffolk Bushcraft Group
- Thread starter Big Stu 12
- Start date
I am hoping to bring the furnace to a Monthy meet some time so save the Gas for then, I just need to get my mate on side, so we can use it more.
If the group meal is on Saturday, then I am defiantly up for that, just let me know costs so I can bring along appropriate funds!!
Ok, will amend main post, the costings are on the main information post for this months meet, last time the meal cost was £3 for the stew and dumplings.
I posted earlier an updated attendance list to show that I'll only be able to attend on Friday night. My Mrs decided to take an additional night shift on the Saturday night without even bothering to check with me first (she does this a lot)

2 Nighter at Orchards for the 5th and 6th April 2013,
Weather is now getting warmer so a good one to Test and try new and old gear ready for the summer season.
Confirmed with Orchards. I thought it might be nice to get there on Friday night again as there will be more light as the clocks go forward - I am going straight from work, but arrival after midday is good.
All Welcome, Experienced, Newbies, Tree and Ground Dwellers.

There is wood that can be brought on site £7 per barrow - (cost divided amongst whole group) last time two barrows were used (£2 to £3).
There will be a Saturday Night Group Meal, Last time was a Beef Stew and Dumplings, cost of last time came to £3.00 each. (will try to keep to the same sort of cost...but that's down to how much it cost from the Supermarket....) - Of course you can cater yourself if you require.
There is a Toilet Block (showers and toilets), open and water is available from Taps on the site,
Of course Photo's and the Micky being taken is compulsory ....
And Fluffy Hot water bottles/slippers are welcome.....

Hi Stuart,
Just confirming i'm having the group meal stew and dumplings on both nights cheers bud.
Also wondered if you or any of the crew have a damascus blank for the knife making date. Or if anyone can point me in the direction of where this type of blank can be got. Appreciate it.

Hi mate, the group meal is only on the Saturday, as for the damascus steel, I would put a post on the main forum, I do know that someone on her has stared to make it in the uk if I remember right,
