Might even be able to borrow a 18x24 big donkey boy tent, as a communal beer tent incase of inclement weather

My job here is done then

Now what area reps want to sort it

Squaddiemodo · Post by **Squaddiemodo** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:24 pm

If people tell me what kit we will need, i.e. beer tent, generator, lighting etc, i can get that sorted, or at least say what i can and cant get

Beer tent, you mean BEER,tent

fluke · Post by **fluke** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:33 pm

Well I have a large BBQ, half a 205 litre oil drum on a stand, with tools ect ect.
Transporting it could be a issue but i'm sure we can arrange something.
Squaddie seems to have the tentage, lightage covered, just need to find a location.

Gaydon is a good suggestion, however I can see those further up north and in Scotland saying tis a bit far south to attend tho, so somewhere thats roughly dead central maybe better???

im up for it, but i doubt i'll stay for the sleep over with a 2 month old baby

and i'll have to be in the bubble as it will be cheaper than the 800 to run unless brackenfox gives me his motor

Squaddiemodo · Post by **Squaddiemodo** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:42 pm

If Lincolnshire is an option, there is the aircraft museum at east Kirkby (IIRC) that does day events etc.

And its supposed to be haunted for those that fancy a nightime ghost hunt lol

Or there is always Elvington, and i can square away camping as my folks live 10 mins away and have a mahoosive field behind the house that they co-own with next door

When jamo-4 see's this thread, I hope you realise half of south wales will be attending

doughts · Post by **doughts** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 10:11 pm

Provisionally yes I'm up for a meet, depending on when and where. Maybe an idea to find out who is most northerly and who is most southerly and try to find somewhere in the middle

And it's 120 miles from here. Thing is some will have to travel can't have it on everyones doorstep

We could use the GE map as a basis and pick a centre point...

The last poll for people's locations gave the following results :

34% (36 people) Midlands (down to Watford Gap)
22% (24 people) South east (from Salisbury going east, inc East Anglia)
10% (11 people) Wales
9% (10 people) South west (from Salisbury going west)
9% (10 people) North (north of Selby)
6% (7 people) Scotland
4% (5 people) Europe
0% (1 person) Ireland (North & South)
0% (1 person) Other

So the location should reflect those results. In any case, if you look at a map of the UK, the dead centre would somewhere near the Scottish border... which would be a bit of a trek for the 31% of people from SE and SW, as well as for those from South Wales...

Why don't we meet up somewhere near Longbridge?

I have to Admit the idea of Gaydon strikes a chord with me

I'm sorry but new keyboard time again, I'll never be able to look at squaddie in quite the same light again now!

Seeing as we could have members from as far west as Galway in Ireland and as far east as Norwich in England, couldn't we have it somewhere more central like, say Dublin?

216si · Post by **216si** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 11:49 am

i'd be up for it, if it's a weekend jobbie then even i wouldn't mind traveling to say gaydon even though it's 250 miles south of me

Ok, thanks. Whore away chaps.

If I'm not recovering from the dreaded op on my spine it'll be one more for the convoy

(apparently I can't drive for 5weeks min after the op on the 18th Oct *twitch*)

Anytime after second half of october would be ideal although,

OH HELL YES ! ! ! here's another.

C2K · Post by **C2K** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:53 pm

Oh yeah. I would be up for that without a doubt.

Whether my car is available is a different matter. Better finish the electrics.

Has to be a weekend for me though, as no holidays left.
