Dave & Megan's BBQ - All Welcome Sat 29th June

[unity1]

I've been speaking to the Mrs. 

What's the deal with camping, specifically in regards to toilet access and water. I'm fairly easy going but would have an influence if she stays or goes home.

[Gjk]

To try and hopefully put your wife’s mind to rest @unity1. I have been reliable informed by a long standing forum member that there are lavatories readily available for people who wish to camp. With regards to the water, bring bottled! Looking forward to seeing you there.

[Dave Freeman]

HI all, there is water available (potable) ie drinking water and a toilet with sink, there is plenty of room for a large or medium sized tent, entrance to the garden is though a drive leading to a 14 foot 5 bar gate, so access is easy.

Dave might be an idea if you left an honesty box on the bar for people who want to leave a donation

Not necessary Pete, it would embarrass me if good friends think they have to donate. Just bring specific drinks (hard core) and if people want to bring exotic meats they are welcome, ill cook anything.  

[Dave Freeman]

Chris, can you please advise total number coming and those who would like breakfast, 

[ChrisJ]

Total number is around 28 with you and Megan. See previous page.

I think 5 are camping. @unity1 and @Gjk can you confirm numbers please. Anyone else camping?

[Dave Eds]

I'll still be there come breakfast time 👍

[ChrisJ]

From Dave

1. If camping, you will need to bring your own tent, there is ample room
2. There is a loo and sink and water on site.
3. There is also a 2 bedroom static caravan on site for those who want to stay but not camp, you will have to bring own bedding and be willing to share. First come, first served. Please contact Dave directly.

[Gjk]

Hi @ChrisJ, I can confirm @Gjk plus 1 will be camping.

Nothing new there then  

[unity1]

Tested the tent yesterday and picked up some burgers sausages for cremation.

Unless the weather takes a turn for the worse it'll be myself +3.

[ChrisJ]

I've sent out a PM with the address - but only to those who haven't been before, or possibly not for a while.

If you haven't received it, or want a reminder, please let me know.

See you Saturday

[Dave Freeman]

Apologies a bit late....... but does anyone have any dietary needs, vegan etc, happy to provide meat free food if needed.

 

looking forward to seeing you all.

[Sparky]

I need to be fed through a tube (gin is fine).  And please ensure a St John Ambulance presence onsite.
