Newent Meet 2009

[MartinP]

Sent my post dated cheque.

Name is not on the list since post #71, but as long as it is on the confirmed one, I don't care

Martin

Have you asked me for my address? As soon as I recieve any cheques they go straight onto the Confirmed List

I was giving you a bit of time to get the cheque  .

Am now on the list.

I want to make sure its the Miggy this time, wouldn't want to hog the middle of the shot with a Festa

I didn't think for a minute I'd managed to upset you... I just like taking the p!ss out of people and equally getting it back. If I ever manage to upset someone then I'm sorry but... I just can't help it! Life's too short

As long as you get the basics I'm sure we can all muck in with the rest Certainly we can help with cooking facilities

Nick V6 - you really just need enough to sleep with, ie canvas, sleeping stuff.  Bring your own grub, throw it on bob.dents bbq (actually, throw it at bob.dent, he's chief chef ), grab a tinny, and talk 'dangle berries' all night . Everyone congregates around bob's warm bbq all evening.

There's usually a gas ring out and about somewhere to boil a kettle for a cuppa, or if like me you can't get up before first cup, bring a flask

I think there is a shop in the town (about 1m), so you should be OK without fridge/coolbag.

Your problem will be breakie and lunch.  Few options - some members tend to gather into small groups for breakie, for eg, traditionally, Me/Mrs TB, Jimbob/Ljay, MDTM/Mrs DTM, and the Zoks, so you could ask around if you think it would be an idea for other's to group up for a bit of group cooking.  Or I believe there is a microwave onsite. Or nip out to a cafe (not sure if there is one around).  Thats all assuming you have cook breakfasts!

I have bits and bobs of spare camping bits, but no room in car.  If we could get the useless student to come along, I could get him to bring stuff for you


Whatever, you are with friends (even if mostly complete strangers ), as long as you have the basics, you'll be fine

thanks for that tb
will definatley look into getting a tent and probly some microwave meals for the kids unless old freecycle will come up with something

thanks again

Now is a good time to add, that if you haven't been to one of the 'official' meets before, we tend to gather around the bbq late afternoon, early evening, bring whatever we want bbq'd to bob.dent, usually ensuring he has a tinny at the same time, and chat all evening.  May do a quiz if the demand is there.  Some members prefer to do their own dinner alone, then join the group afterwards.  Much liquid will be consumed

during the day, up to you what you do.  Some people go out for the day, some like to tinker about with over people's cars.
