UPDATE - PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE COMING ON SAT EVENING

I have been in contact with the caterer - the score is;

We are going to be dining on Pork Loin in a Bap - with Chips and Coleslaw.  Pam (caterer) is supplying all the plates and cutlery - and Apple Sauce etc.

I am afraid there is a slight increase on the price mentioned in my first posting - the cost per head is now £4.50 (£2.50 for the nippers).  I hope this does not cause anyone too much of a problem.  Inflation I guess - as the original estimate of cost was given in March....

Also - I am trying to think of the best method of providing a mass pudding (desert course if your name is John Loud-one).  Would you mind bringing a small contribution -  a cake or similar to chuck on the middle of the table for all to share?  Again - let me now if you think this is workable.

I will of course expect you all to turn up with a bottle of chilled wine (stella if your name is Steve Davies) - to share with your other halfs :)

Only other thing you wil need is a chair and a strong arm if you  intend to compete in the welly wanging contest.  This will take place following the meal and the consumption of wine and beer - previous experience has shown it is more fun that way. :oops:

If anyone has an iPOD with speakers - so that we can make a bit of noise in the corner - this would be great too.

I am taking a generator - so that we can hook up a light or two - which should keep us bathed in light until we throw in the towel :p

Other than that - turn up with a smile - ready to have a good time - and pray for good weather!

edited to say - we are just about at 70 people now

BTTT

I won't have time to bake anything and I don't think I'll have room for shop bought cake in my little car what with laptops and printers, sleeping bag, hat, suntan cream etc etc  :oops:

OK Folks,

72 people for food - which is just fab!

The caterer is providing all the plates and cutlery etc - only thing you will need to bring with you is a chair to park yur bum - and whatever you wish to drink.

We are going to erect two large party gazebo's near the catering hut (sorry - restaurant) and will have a large area to shelter in should the weather be against us - but checking the local forecast this morning, all looks good for the whole weekend - so fingers crossed.

I collected the prizes for the wellie wanging yesterday - you are going to be amazed :D

We have an iPOD to make some noise and I am going to pursuade Barney to lend me his generator for the evening (he doesn't know this yet - so please don't tell him before I get the chance to ask him!!) so that we can run a few lights etc. in the unlikely event that we run on into the darkness.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday - I am off to reinforce the tressle-table now - to take the incredible load that the cakes will exert on it :laugh:
