I knew that lump of a 1600 would come in handy one day:
When I unpacked at home, I found I had taken a second table, but had forgotten to use it.
Great weekend. Many thanks to all involved. Found 3 bags of wood in the back of the Passat when we were packing up, forgot all about them. There seemed to be plenty on Saturday night though.
Interesting that several people felt ill to some degree. Mrs cookie and I both had dodgy tummies this morning. Mine could be attributed to a "bad pint". I feel like I had a few and statistically one could be "bad"
Not the missus who hardly drank a thing though.

I had several pints and survived unscathed.
Neither of us are prone to that sort of thing, so it's odd that both of us were affected.
Good call. Fish fuck in it.
I had the big sausages & and a baked spud, felt fine
The pub meals were very good,
but no pints for me , just cider
There are a shit load of virus's doing the rounds atm
you may have picked up one of those

That was a new one on me, I must say.
I had cider cans, cider pints OB's, thin and thick sausage and have not had any adverse effects in the slightest. Must be the spuds/potato salad. I even had more fat sausage when I arrived home and am good. All meat was freshly packed and frozen for us and then thawed on Friday night. Sorry you guys had the runs.. Thanks to all sundry. Great weekend. Thank you to Paul for getting it slightly off the ground and for Ian getting us over the line. Momentum, Found a way to win Toddy..Next week I shall be Italian mixed with French blood...Dini de Salve

This deserves recognition - anyone who was not in attendance won't have witnessed this firepit. Functionally, it was exceptional (lots of oxygen for the wood so it burned cleanly, stainless steel construction, the mesh contained the fire and sparks whilst radiating a ton of heat and the rim around the top served as a warmer for the jacket spuds).
This was Ian's home made invention - used to be a washing machine drum! Fabulously effective design.

Spot on.
I am checking with the Seven Stars that they don’t have some mass booking on the same date,
Indeed, a thing of genius and great wonder.
