Title: BBB 2025
Post by: Chug on March 09, 2025, 12:56:51 PM
I thought I'd better let folks know that the BBB is on different days this year coz it's Lynda's 70th so it will be the first weekend in August 1st, 2nd 3rd.

Thanks, Chug. Do my best to make it this year.  Missed the last two and got BBB withdrawal symptoms!

That's a good reason to change the date.
Sadly I'm booked into an archery competition that weekend  :(

I normally let Carl know via Whatsap, but my phone died and I lost all my old contacts, so if anyone else has his number please let him know.

That's actually really good news otherwise me and Dom could only have done some of Saturday, and now we can do the whole weekend!

We would of course love to be there if you'll have us :)

Dom's got his drone flier's license and qualifications now - I'm sure he'd like a second go on your DJI drone!

Talking of drones have Dom or Dave got any previous BBB footage? I would like to see how it looked before our Mabel mobile arrived.

Cheers Dave,  if only it went to the side a bit more, but good to see what's changed.

If anyone has a working central heating pump they could bring as a spare for the pool that would be good.

Got a calpeda multistage pump that might do what you want, I'll bring it anyway.

Also if anyone wants 20kg of slightly aging KOH for free please let me know and I'll bring that too.

The KOH would be very nice Tony if you still have it.

Dave can't bring his drone but I'm charging Dom's drone batteries now.  I now have an operator's licence and Dom and flyer's license, so we can fly it legally.

Although I had posted that I couldn't make, I was planning to turn up for Saturday night to surprise Lynda.
However, and this is hard for me to type, my son passed away on Thursday, so I'll not be coming.
He was 31 years old and although he had epilepsy there were no visual signs he'd had a fit, we're now waiting for the coroners report to try and make sense of it.
Apart from being with my wife, there's no other place I'd like to be at this time than with you lot around the fire.
