good to see that those who suffered an FTP didn't have to wait hours for collection/got back on the road.
Roy and I cleared the rubbish and recycling from the club and the dustvan has just gone by.
If anyone left anything, although it didn't look like it, let me know.
Whilst SF19 wasn't really aimed at being a club fundraising event there was over £300 in the collecting glass, and I think the bar did well on Friday night, so there is a fair bit left after expenses.  This is good as we have been hit with a £300+ extra cost towards the night landing lights in the village for the air ambulance, someone not in the club "forgot" about dealing with VAT, so a fund surplus turned into a shortfall.  The club started the ball rolling on fundraising for the lights and has ended up as piggy in the middle.
Thanks to all

You can come on Thursday but for the club to be opened for toilets etc we will need to be sure that there will be someone on site; a wide open unattended club won't be covered by our insurance, and nocturnal removal men are not unknown around here.  Mrs K and I may be out for the day and not back until after 6 to open up.
The farm shop has a toilet but closes at 6;  the Half Moon opens by 7. The Ring of Bells is probably open at 6 - it's just had a glowing write up in the Daily Telegraph.  The hedge is there 24/7/365.
So far the rain has missed us and the ground is bone dry and hard.  For those arriving when we have had the promised rain I'd suggest driving in, turning around and having a straight run into the 5-a-side area by the road - it will minimise churning up the entrance  (I have seen the photos of SF16!)
Milk will be in the kitchen aroud 10am on Friday morning.  The bar will be open from mid afternoon;  roasties and sausages for 7?  I cleared the freezer cabinets in Crediton Tesco of footballer grade stocks  this morning.  I'll try to restock on Saturday if needed.
For those coming south on the M5;  should there be problems on the A361 to North Devon go to the next junction down for Cullompton, turn right into town, (Tesco is just down the road)  left at the lights, after about 200m the road narrows, turn right just before the narrowing and this which takes you to Tiverton, left at the bottom of the hill in Tivvy, over the river and left to Exeter, right at Bickleigh to Crediton and follow the strawberry signs.
Safe journeys!

Having missed all the heavy rain in the area over the weekend we've just had at least 20 minutes of 3 inches an hour rain with hail and lightning;  with SF19 vacated the force field has evaporated and left us to our fate.  The rainfall radar showed the precipitation increasing in a narrow band just before it got here to hit Cheriton.  
M'Coli got under his car in the comfort of my garage and departed leaving a delicate chip aroma;  we had a discussion about Brora and we identified that we liked the same area of the camp site there.
I got to the pub in time for a quick pint and Roy continued to enthuse about you lot. 
Hope everyone gets home safely (bodywise)  even if their car is less well.

It 's going really well; my thanks to the Club Committee for agreeing to have SF19 descend on them and the club members who have helped, and not least to the Shiters.
I've just looked at the Met Office forecast and we should have better weather for most of the day: the rainfall radar shows that over the last two hours most of the rain has avoided Shitefest, some kind of force field being generated?
