It's bring yer own, so down to you how many people you wish to share (or not) your sausage with 

We only have one BBQ* and one Tolf** so that will be the only limitation.

 

 

* Should be plenty of gas so will go for a while
** Tolf's may need resting / watering every 30mins or so

Wait - gas?? That's not a barbecue...

It depends last year @Andy Banks - Chairman went in the opposite direction of the circuit anyway.

 

Not so much flying but ‘releasing  it back into the wild’

Yep, but don't tell Tolf as he is a purest and if he finds out we'll starve!

I may make an exception on this occasion

Please bring your own drinking receptacles (of known volume - pint / half pint)

BEER ORDERED 

Two pins (2* 36 pints boxed bright) of real ale from Irwell Brewery....

1* Costa del Salford, a pale with some hopping which went down well last year

1* Navigator, more traditional bitter styled ale. 1st brew of this popular special for a while, which I've just sampled to check it's up to WSCC requirements.

These come in at £2 per pint so charitable donations should be suitably generous  .

As last year, the beer will be self service with a charity bucket honesty box.

Thursday afternoon, a van will turn up with the Gazebo, BBQ, TV and various bits; Blyton management are expecting it but it would be great if folks are around (if Ian or I are not) to help. Ian and I aim to get there by 16:00, get our tents up and then crack on with the Gazebo, etc. It needs to go approximately where we gathered last year.

Any help here from folks who are around would be very much appreciated.
In fact, without your help, we won't have the Gazebo up as it a six man job!
(and therefore nowhere to put the telly...)

Panda is aiming for early pm and me and my mate John mid pm so hopefully will be there when van arrives and start sorting.

[B.RAD]

I'll be there a bit later in the evening but happy to help out wherever I can.

[Kingster]

I’m aiming for 4-5pm ish so will pitch tent ASAP and help out

[Tom Frankland (T3OMF)]

What's the situation on flying drones this year. Most regs ban them 

The guy that runs Blyton came flying over () on his moped in the evening when a few of us were flying or about to fly them saying no.......................   

We were only going to try and find @Andy Banks - Chairman new drone which he lost in a spectacular fashion.

Hi @Andy Banks - Chairman. Plans have changed for us this weekend so are now free and want to come and join the fun Saturday/Sunday and camp over Saturday night. Do I need to let anyone else know.

Hi Both. Just pitch up, be a pleasure to see you and we'd be grateful for any help too.
