Event Cholmondeley - Sunday 3rd September 2017

[Ghosty]

It'd be an idea. I suspect us campers will be having a mini-convoy.

[Heidel_Kakao]

Yeah if anyone feels like meeting up at the campsite for convoying purposes that could work.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Campsite seems to be in-between me and the show, so I'm up for that. 

[Grundig]

Are we meeting g up somewhere beforehand?

 

Our start point after a hearty breakfast

[Squire_Dawson]

I will go to the cafe if that is the plan. Cos I can never resist a cooked breakfast.

 

If anybody is without chod and wants to come I have room in the car and will be leaving from central Manchester on the morning.

That's a fair offer. Each ticket is for two people isn't it? I'd be happy to give a lift to anyone who finds themselves 'without shite.'

[strangeangel]

I'm bringing the event shelter down on the day, along with a stove and kettle. BYO mugs & chairs!

I already have teabags in the car. I shall make an effort to aquisition milk on the way down

[strangeangel]

On looking again at my plans, I think I'll just head straight there after the Wales match in Cardiff on Saturday night - hardly seems worth going home!

[dollywobbler]

I'll try posting this in the correct thread...

 

Right. Planets are aligning and I'm going to be working in Cheshire on Saturday, so that means I'm a definite for camping. Where are we at with that? Is there still capacity within our group or do I need to ring up and make my own booking?

[Heidel_Kakao]

Is there still capacity within our group or do I need to ring up and make my own booking?

Ring and make your own booking, based on last year I would be very surprised if they are fully booked. Let us know if you get charged £15 or £20 out of interest.

[dollywobbler]

Ok. When they actually answer the bloody phone, I'll get booked.

[Heidel_Kakao]

Oh yeah it took me a few attempts to get through when I did it. Pity you can't book online or something.

[KruJoe]

Being a rural pub, they may well be shut for the afternoon. Try again this evening.

[dollywobbler]

Booked. £20 it is. Anyone got the necessary to plug into this bloody electricity that's 'complimentary?'

[mat_the_cat]

I could bring a welder. If we going to make use of 'free' electricity then we may as well draw a decent current...

[KruJoe]

Necessary..?

 

Leccy kettle?

Patio heater?

Tesla Model-S?

 

(Drat, beaten to it by Mat!)

[dollywobbler]

But do we need a conversion lead? I'm guessing they're not just 240v sockets sitting in a field.

[Ghosty]

I think they come with that funny circular blue plug with a flap on it. You can't really have a three pin plug just sitting in a field for people to plug extension leads into!

[Heidel_Kakao]

 

Electric blankets maybe to get our moneys worth?

[KruJoe]

Flipping ace idea.

I'll have a bloody good rummage int' sheds tomorrow, if I can find the bits, I'm making one of those adaptor cables!

[mat_the_cat]

My welder plugs straight in to one of those, as it draws too much for a 13A socket. Anyone need a patch?

Do we wait until we're sure someone has just started having a shower?

[retrogeezer]

Sunday looking like a total washout at the moment

Well, we will have shelter and brew facilities, so the weather will be tolerable at least

Sorted. Of course, what we really need is a big bus. What's FBP7's schedule?

[Inspector Morose]

Manchester.

[dollywobbler]

Close! Can't you tell them you got lost?

[KruJoe]

Rain is impossible. It's always cracking the flags at Chumley, sunburn is inevitable.

If that happens what time is the meet at the cafe, opening hours say 8:30-2pm which is quite a big window to guess at
