Sussex BCUK meet for APRIL: 20th/21st 2013

[Leather Owl]

Just had a thought. So that your May meeting does not clash with my work commitments. Please can I suggest the weekend of 25th - 26th for the May meet. Know it is a bit early but if I do not suggest a date I know that it will fall on a weekend when I am tied up with work. Here's hoping!

 

[Neumo]

We need to book up all the dates for the busy period over the Summer (May to August), which we will decide at the next meet. We will look at a calendar and pick some dates, taking in to account people's views. You can't please everyone, especially over the summer months, so we just pick some dates & publish them. We have to book each meet & reserve it with a deposit of £15 per meet, which I did last year. That way we are guaranteed a place.

We should look at some of the sites down the hill from the middle wash house for the busy summer months, as it looked nice down there. Maybe we would have a walk down & find some pitch names that we like; otherwise we will be back on the treeless N1 again....

Another one I can't make either. I'll be doing something quite bushy though, helping out with an event called Wild Woods - lots of kids running around Wimbledon Common doing rope swings, compass, knots etc etc - good fun (http://www.lunchbowl.org/wild-woods.html). Have fun!

We always have fun. Looks like it may be a quiet meet if there are only 3 of us so far.

[Neumo]

I will be down on Friday afternoon with the chute & grill etc...I am toying with doing a Roast chicken or something if there will only be a few of us

 

[crosslandkelly]

Sounds Good to me, I'll bring veg.

 

[crosslandkelly]

If you like we could cook the chook like this.

 

[jackcbr]

Might be there Friday night if I don't have any work. Then off sat morning not a million miles away.

 

[Neumo]

Yes that chicken looks good, I have wanted to do a spit roast by the fire for some time..... Wait for it....

Seriously that does look good & I have a bag of brickettes that we can use.

I am toying with getting one of the rotisserie motors & the 60cm skewer, which ain't bad for less than 20 notes:

[Neumo]

I have been wanting to get a roteisserie that i can use on a BBQ, Fire etc for a while so after a good look round I have bought one of these:

i will knock up a a stand for the fire & brink it along for a pay next weekend. I have a couple of fishing bank sticks that may get adapted. So it will be flame grilled spit roast chicken if it arrives in time.... I went for the 41inch battery one with a rod that folds down in half which looked a little sturdier than some of the cheaper ones. It can turn 10Kg according to some adds I saw so has the potential to cook lots of cool food. Hope it turns up in time.

 

[crosslandkelly]

If it does'nt turn up, I can knock up the spit in 10 minutes. I'll bring the bbq pit.

[Swallow]

Car is off to see the doctor tomorrow, if that goes badly, I'll not make it. If it goes well be there late morning on Saturday.

 

[Simon H]

I forgot this weekend is Ashdown Forage's launch, so I won't be camped with you lot this time but I will be at Broadstone on another pitch with Iona and crew. They will have classes teaching foraging, microscopy, game prep, wine making, sausage making and I'll be teaching some spoon carving etc for them so feel free to pop in and say hello.

 

[Neumo]

Simon: Can you let us know when you will be down there from, what pitch you are on & when is. Good time to swing by. It would be good to catch up with you after missing you at the last meet. It is good to hear that Iona's school is busy; the manager John mentioned it last time I was paying the bill.

we are on D8 again& will be there from mid afternoon on Friday to the Sunday lunchtime, or thereabouts.
