Hi

I spoke to Carol from MVMC today and she is happy to host us again. The date is no problem and the site has been reserved for us. When we get closer to the date we have to re-confirm and pay a bond.

Cheers,
Markus

Hi Folks
 
I'm using the main google list as I can't get the admin list to admit me.  Normally I'd use the admin for this.
 
Minutes attached.
If I've missed anything, got anything wrong or generally messed up just let me know and I'll amend them.
 
All the best,
 
Alli

Hi Alli
Could you please send the minutes to us as an attachment? I have been trying to access it, and have been waiting 10 minutes for it to open, with no real progress, which is silly, so I gave up. Being rural, we cannot get broadband, so an attachment would be a lot easier!
Thanks a lot
Kate

Greetings All

Following a visit to Eryl's today, we have devised a rearranged plan for this event, based on the following reasons.

1. The ground is not flat enough to put up tents, tables etc, and there is far too much work for Eryl to do to achieve a better site in the time allowed. Nor is there enough time to organise a working bee before the weekend.

2. The grass is still very long.

3.  From the response so far to Eryls camp invitation, not enough people appear to want to/be able to camp for the Friday and Saturday.


So, the plan now is as follows:

We will have a low key two day informal gathering at Eryls, with staying overnight on Saturday optional (either camping or dossing on mattresses in Eryl's lounge).

People who want to teach members of the group something can still do so of course. Bring along craft activities that you are working on, and we can sing, dance, play games and whatever else we fancy.

It will be an opportunity to discuss plans for the year, including the upcoming Marchfest event, as well as to relax and chat.

If wet we will cook and eat indoors, and perhaps watch a DVD or something.


In terms of food:

For anyone staying overnight, Eryl will make porridge

Bring lunch food to share

For Saturday night we'll hopefully have tea around a campfire (weather permitting), and will cook on site. The meal will consist of simple but tasty camp food, including

a substantial vegetable soup
a meat stew
bread
possibly something done on a spit depending on numbers attending
BYO beverage

(Vegetarians might like to bring something that can be heated in the oven to supplement the soup)

Dinner ingredients will be purchased for the group, and the cost divided up amongst attendees at the event.

Please let Eryl know if you plan to attend by Wednesday 7 March by replying to this email, and indicate

a) if you want to stay overnight on Saturday, and

b) if you want to participate in the evening meal on Saturday night so there will be enough food for everyone

If anyone coming doesn't know where Eryl lives, please ask and she will post directions.

Cheers
Mike

Hi all,

We're still not sure what Boyd's rehearsal schedule will be, but providing he's not called away we plan to come out for the Saturday afternoon, but we won't be staying the night.  We probably won't be staying for the evening meal, and if plans change we can bring our own food.

Hi Folks

Roger and I will be joining you on Saturday but won't stay over.  We should be around all day though.  Looking forward to seeing you all.  Not sure which of the half dozen things I'm half way through I'll bring to do.  Knowing me I'll unhelpfully start something else.  

Alli
