Assuming our gracious hosts are able to this year - there was rumour of it being put back a week?

That's really nice.

My son in his enthusiasm block booked both weekends in our calendar to be sure - he's itching to come again.

If there is enough interest we can bring a nine gallon barrel of cask bitter down
full nelson 4.6% vol at cost its £1.60 a pint.

We can set it up so you can help yourself and put cash in a box.

Can also do a larger set up with a flash cooler pravha 4.9% vol at £2.00 a pint.

Please let me know will require a good weeks time to put in an order.

Richard.

Mmm beer with Nelson Sauvin sounds good to me, it's one of my regular use hops. 

I still haven't even cut the field and garden/yard grass yet this year, or done anything in the veg plotment! I've had so many other things that needed my attention I haven't had the time, or energy, so I need to get mowing n strimming n hedgecutting asap if we're gonna have a bash in a couple of months!

We've been busy at the plot recently and we'll be up there again tonight, I hope the weather stays like this.

I know it will be a bit late in the season but if you want some tomato or cucumber plants for the greenhouse just let me know. Runner bean plants and a 'gutter' full of peas would also be practical if you let me know.

Thanks Dave, I'll see what Lynda says, but I've kinda written the growing off for this year as we're making some major changes up there that will keep me busy for most of the year.

Apart from who’s posted on here do we know who’s coming this year.
I’ve let Carl (etz250) know. Ben will be bringing Gemma, Mia & Caleb, but they’ll only be there from Saturday as Ben is out the county until Friday evening.

Stand by your beds coz I'll be there as well.
Chug would you tell she who must be obeyed to have a nice cuppa ready for me, six sugars but don't stir it, I don't like it sweat.
See you all soon.

I'll be there as usual, trying to raise the tone of the proceedings and failing as always, thank good!  ::)

Looking forward to another great weekend meetup.
