I think that by looking at all the photos in the gallery that the most accurate answer to the question "What happens at a meetup?" is that people make a LOT of wood chips from carving! ):

Thats probably the most accurate ANSWER Adi - wont mention who but at least one person spent the whole weekend sharpening his armoury and then making nothing but tooth picks!

to stop us getting wet

 

[JakeR]

It was the communal area Chris.

 

[chris chris]

Cheers guys,

with due respect, it looks like it would not do much to stop people getting wet but I now understand Jakes reason, cheers :wave:

 

[JakeR]

It look liked it would have been sufficient...

I've had a chute up for 3 months now and it's stayed nice and dry in there even when it's poured down, the odd drip gets through and if you touch the fabric it can encourage more water ingress but on the whole they're fantastic in bad weather..... :biggthump

So it was to stop us getting wet in our communial area ive been under these things in some pretty nasty weather and as Tony says you get a few drips but nothing serious, If it didnt hold the rain off it would hardly be worth putting it up over the communial area would it :?:

And if the weather got worse we could drop the sides and make an enclosed tepee - but open like that it still creates a envelope of warmed air which kept it comfortable yet still allowed smoke ect to escape.

In the summer you'd not need one - but even then it does have the advantage of form the communal area as suggested and as such lends itself well to a group feeling of community.
