Lambourn bash - aka the brummie bash re-located (updated)

[miles_hot]

The date for the Lambourn bash is September 18th - the location is Lambourn.

The guest list looks like:

places
Mark Sanger
Dusty Dave
Jenx - Possible = standby
Mikec
Ratwood & Sue
Bigsoftmoose
Richard Findley
The Shark
Paul M
Oakbear
DougB
PeterSk
liamscanlan
NikNak
Cornucopia

Standby

dropped out
Dannykaye (DougB driving)
Benchwayze

Mark Sanger has confirmed that he will demo as has Richard so the mysteries of the skew and fruit making will be revealed to us DougB will perform his debut demonstration (supported by Oakbear) on Pen making. Chris (Ratwood) will be showing his flowers (hazel branches I think?).

Moose has sorted the lathe so we'll (hopefully) have an impressive block of cast iron, my perform and at least one other Demo lathe available.

Caroline will be sorting dinner (not with the same range as Paul has previously offered but I doubt there will be many complaints!) - if anyone has any intense dislikes / allergies etc this is a good time to mention it

I will send out PMs soon with directions etc - when you reply can you give me your real name and any food stuff.

I can't for the life of me remember when Paul's event kicked off - when do people want to start? 10:00 maybe - any objections?

Given the demos we've got does anyone else want to bring anything along / see or do anything else? Very happy to have too much to do rather than too little Maybe Ratwood could demo the lovely flowers again - assuming this isn't getting old hat for you?

At Birmingham I had somewhere to stop overnight but won't be able to do that at Swindon so I will have to bow out I'm afraid Miles, Good of you to do this though

i'd love to miles but a 4.5 hour round trip is my idea of hell-so i'm out.
its great that you've taken it on though

Hi Miles

Glad you've been able to take this on but unfortunately I'm bowing out as well. This is mainly due to me being only 12 miles away from Paul. Also I'm off to Saundersfoot with the caravan on the 19th so I may not have spent the full day at Paul's anyway due to me getting the caravan ready.

Good luck with this event.

Steve

 

[RATWOOD]

we are in if you will have us

 

[skeetoids]

I'd love to come and meet you all but a 750+ mile round trip is a bit much!!!

Hope it's a great success.

 

[wizer]

The date is the killer for me. So I'm out also

 

[mikec]

If you get any spare places Miles I'd love to come along.

Birmingham was a bit far but you're that much closer

Cheers, Paul

Hello Miles
Nice one for putting your hat into the ring, fairplay.
I am going to pull out though, just down to the distance.
Cheers

Hi Miles ... how close are you to an airport ? ... Pauls was fine and easy for me last time.. if you're not too far from one, I'll be ok ( rent a car ).. maybe you could let me know when you get a minute !

All the best,

Basically we're pretty equidistant from Bristol, Southampton and Heathrow - i.e. about 1-1.5h drive - not sure if that will be close enough??

Miles

 

[Jenx]

Close enough, Miles !
I'll stay 'in' if thats ok ! .. thats 'do-able' !

I look forward to meeting everyone on the day!!
