Really glad you can make it pal, it wouldn't have been quite the same without you there.
Only just over a week to go, suppose I'd better get out and buy my tent then!

Re: Thursley Common Meet

Regards

a few of us have been invited to a private site , but unfortunately this isnt open to everybody , I'm not sure what the general arrangements are but i know that some people are staying in hotels , b+bs etc while some are coming for only one or the other of the days. Julie would probably be the one to ask (although she is one of the light weights who are staying at the travel lodge)

Light weight. Moi?

Tough as an old boot normally, but it's been a hard slog this term and Chris has been travelling 150 miles a day for the past year so we're 'treating ourselves' a bit.

We must refine the details next week so that all those who want to, can meet and decide how the day will suit folk.

I'll send a pm to a few folk with my mobile number next week too.

(Feeling a bit panicky now...I really hope this meet is up to everyones expectations)


Jules

I could do with your mobile phone number Jules so I can shout at you if we don't have a good weekend

Only joking

There will be no complaints from anyone at our end, if anything you might get complaints about us as we are a little bit much to handle.

Is Gill Catton? (hope thats spelt correct) coming as one member in our group will have a lot in common with Gill.
He works as a wildlife consultant. We haven't told him about Gill because he is very shy.

at last count it depended on whether her boyfreind was going to be in the country, if he is she might bizarrely prefer his company to ours - strange girl

so oscars bringing the curry - How are we fixed for cooking ? do you want me to bring my big gas burner (two rings propane job) or alternatively I've also got two trangias ?

I'm also well equiped for the liquid refreshment - you can get 60 bottles of beer for the price of 40 in asda at present

Re: Thursley Common Meet

We have a cunning plan Baldrick! The curry will be slowly cooked the night before and carefully stored, then reheated on my DB.
Are you getting the beer in? as you say good deals about with 60 for the price of 40 (£20)at Tescos!

We can square up the readies Friday/Saturday

Re: Thursley Common Meet

I'll bring as much booze as will fit in a ford ka, so far i've got a 24 pack of magners (so thats me sorted), and most of three crates of booze, and a 12 of smirnoff ice ( how much will be left by next weekend is another question) - and yep I'm defintely up for getting properly beaucoup - I've had a hard week - someoneelse better bring some painkillers

I assume we are sorted for gennies but I can liberate another one from work if needs be ( gennys will also mean that we can use an electric kettle to brew up in de mornin )

What us??? I suppose we may come as a bit of a culture shock to the more refined folk of the South, but we are good for a laugh or three.
