Put me down again Gary, enjoyed the work out last year digging the car out of the snow.

 

Back by popular demand "Great British CCS Bake Off" will be held again at this years meet.

As defending champion I get to choose the recipe.
From the Bero Book again.

Gary, I will try my best , but only if you and Ross promise to dig me out a parking spot before I get there . Tis a very long way for me, but loved it last year, so will do my utmost to make it again. It will be great to see the inept tent pitchers again . Steve.

 

Me & Tom will be there.

 

With yer snow shovels I hope . Can I sleep in the boxing ring this time please?

 

Is anyone going up there from down south? I'm in Luton but could arrange to meet someone by a train station along the way.

 

Hi
Just a bump.
Month to go, it's a good chance to show off your christmas presents .
Long range weather forecast isn't bad.

 

I'm across the water that weekend, free on the Sunday, but some distance away in Leicester.

If, tentatively, I can purloin a car for the day I'll pop in.

Unfortunately travelling by air with cabin bags only precludes bringing any toys. But it would be good to meet some fellow idiots.

 

Hi
A week to go, weather forecast looks good.
I'd like to get an idea of the numbers if I can.
No worries if you have to leave it till the last minute rough guesstimate will do.

A local business man has donated a trophy for the cook off.

 

Me on me tod. The boy has a birthday bash to attend.

 

Working on it...

 

I am ok for the Saturday during the day, my marra Brian may come but is not a definite yet.

 

I'm planning to be there on Saturday after lunch...

 

Aiming for Sat afternoon sometime & hoping someone might have some serviceable Primus No.1/5 pattern legs to trade, barter, swap or sell (note 'serviceable' - not necessarily pretty!)

 

Saturday leave pass has been cleared.

 

I would have loved to attend as I missed it by 2 days last year!!
I'll try for next year, hopefully get daan saaf to one of the big meets this year as well.

Alec.

 

Be there shortly. Baking practice hasn't gone well!

 

Can't make it again this year, I'm afraid. Too much to do here ATM. Will be in touch after the w/e, Gary & Ross. Have a good day.

 

Just me in my car but on my way 1130 ish
