2020 Secret Santa ......and we're off!

[Phil Pascoe]

Can we make this up to twenty? Please? Pretty please? Numbers should be going up every year, not down.

 

[Essex Barn Workshop]

I'd like to be in too if I'm not too late to the party?

Kick starting his pole lathe.

very good Phil. Not woodwork related. Just walking on a field path in the Chilterns on a slippery chalk clay. Slipped, landed badly on this foot. 3 fractures in my ankle.

A month or so ago, I walked 74 miles over 4 days along the Pennine way from Horton in Ribblesdale to Appleby in Westmorland, on my own, miles away from anywhere, without incident. But a Sunday stroll lands me on crutches for six weeks.

Hopefully it will still have plenty of treadling left in it yet. But not before Christmas.

I'm collecting titanium from the NHS quite well. By the time I go, they will call the scrapman not the undertaker.

You're in. One more for the twenty? Don't be shy!

 

[--Tom--]

As someone who took part for the first time last year I can heartily recommend getting involved.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Well, we have twenty. More would be good.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I'll get this drawn tomorrow. I've just had my dog put down, amd my head is all over the place.

Oh Phil. So sorry to hear that. It's a horrible, gutting thing. My thoughts with you.

 

[Jamesc]

So so sorry to hear that Phil,
We have had a close call this week and it was touch and go for our dog so very much feel for you.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Ho, ho, ho! I've done the draw, I'll get the details sent out later.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

You should all have emails. When you get them please let me know by email. Thanks.

I've been asked when the cut off date is. I thought setting it at 10/12 was possibly a bit early, but in view of the lockdown I expect couriers to be run ragged so it's probably good to aim for this. It's a target, not an order - with the best will in the world things always over run. Just try to ensure delivery before Xmas.

 

[Bm101]

Think we might all be considering sorting out our christmas list for friends and families a lot earlier on that topic. Thanks again for all the effort Phil.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I have the first seven confirmations - keep them coming (by email), please - cockups are easily fixed at this stage, not so easily later on.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Ten of you haven't yet confirmed you have your details, could you please do it?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Still waiting ...

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Come on, please, I'm not asking much. Another seven or eight to go.

 

[lurker]

Have a bump on me

Sorry, Phil. Just seen the thread. I have confirmed via email.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I'm still missing seven or eight confirmations so I assume by now that everyone who should have details has them.

 

[lurker]

Suggest you list who you are waiting for.
Just incase they think you have had a confirmation
