Stafford Stuff................
« on: October 04, 2006, 10:40:45 AM »
Club stand is progressing nicely. Given up on the idea of fake grass and going for real stuff instead. Intend to arrive at about noon on the Friday (20/10). PatC and myself should manage to get most of it up to the balcony and begin assembling before anyone else gets there. If possible can those staying for the weekend bring extra camping gear, tents, stoves etc. to 'titti-vate' the stand?

Just a quick reminder that we are NOT having our usual BBQ + bunfight but we will have some hot food so remember your eating 'irons', plate and cup. I am assuming that SteveD is bringing the marquee and hopefully his sizable collection of folding chairs (Can you confirm Steve?)

Other than that hopefully see a few of you there during the weekend!

Hi Boyd

I'll be up on the saturday.  can you maybe see if you can reserve an approximately ambulance sized area around where you're camping??  No worries if not, but if so it could be handy for shelter & cookery classes.

See you then!

I can confirm that I will be there with the marquee and the chairs tables etc, I will also be bringing my Jiko, If anyone else has one that would be great (I will bring some breeze blocks again to support them off the grass)
I will bring along a big sack of charcoal sufficient for all of us.
From the Annual Rally there is sufficient tea, coffee and disposible plates atc for everyone, therefore I would suggest that just bring along your own mug as I will also arrange for a twin burner gas stove plus KETTLES to make hot drinks.
I'll make sure that we have sufficient milk as well.
I will have the generator and lighting as per Annual.
I will also have pots and pans for all to use for cooking or a barbie as well as sauces, this should make it easier for those coming on a bike to travel lighter.
WE will be arranging some form of Chili or similar for the Friday evening, again for convenience. If anyone has a flask that would be great as I can make sure that we can boil up some water and send it up to the stand or make coffee / tea as req'd.
For the Saturday evening it would be good to have a good old fashioned barbie, possibly find a volunteer to go to the shops mid-afternoon to get some fresh food etc, any ideas or thoughts / comments to add please get back so that alterations can be implemented.
Cheers SteveD

Ooohh !
I can bring along my Left-Handed Jiko !
So I can join in emptying SteveD sack of charcoal.
BBQ will be fine !
Are we sorting our own Breakfast ?  Not a problem as far as I'm concerned.

All sounds good to me :-) Looking forward to it. Will/can we organise a booze run on friday night too. Travelling up by bike with no chair attached means I have to travel light and can't bring a stash with me. Got a bit embarrassing last year scrounging cans left right and centre (though was cheaper:-))

I sent all the tickets out last week so you should have had yours by now! If you haven't had it yet I suspect its got lost in the post. Unlike last year I've made sure that all tickets were used and sent them all out, so no spares! If it doesn't turn up I'll speak to Morton's when I arrive on Friday morning and sort one out for you, I don't think it will be a problem.

Eat their food so that none is left for their club members,and have our kids bug the living daylights out of them?

MMmmmmm !   Sounds like a plan !
