Thank you everyone for the speedy replies, appreciated. I think these little lists are correct. Any mistakes or comments, sing-up please.

A. Friday night dinner in the pub

Wapping
The Other PaulG
Loiq
g00ner
Toddmeister
‘spunk trumpet’

Total six - I will call the pub and request a booking for six bods at 19:00

B. Saturday breakfast

Wapping
The Other PaulG

‘spunk trumpet’ - I think

Total six - I will bring enough bacon, sausages, butter, sauces, bread / rolls, tea, milk, coffee, sugar to cater for six persons, so there’ll be no need for anyone to bring anything more…. Unless they are vegan

C. Saturday Braai / BBQ

Wapping
The Other PaulG
adventuredon
Loiq
g00ner
Toddmeister
Ianak
‘spunk trumpet’

Total eight - Don, if you could kindly cater for the eight, that would be great. If anyone would like to bring anything in addition for themselves, it’s up to them.

Beers / wine / shandy - Everyone bring their own.

Any other business

I can bring the tables.

Location for the Braai / BBQ, last time we used the flat part of the field, down by the fence. Assuming nobody nabs it ahead of us, I’d suggest the same spot again.

If someone (or someones) could bring wood - lumps and kindling - for the braai, great. It also makes a pretty good ‘fire pit’ thing afterwards, if there’s enough wood. I remember last year we had the excellent home made washing machine drum fire monster.

All we are left with then is to agree a time for the Braai / BBQ. Looking at the time stamp of this picture it was around 19:30 for 20:00…. But I recall it took us a while to get going (unsurprisingly):

That was the inaugural event, we didn't start eating until 10pm if I recall, something to do with some odd shaped balls

Last year's was far more organised, with eating starting at 7pm and a lot of condiments etc
 
Only just realised this is happening from Ian. Probably a bit late, but I've done a link in the SW region, so maybe a few more to come.

I'll not be able to camp as wife is away and I'm in charge of the dog who's a softie and she be a pain camping, but hope to get along
 
Not sure how i missed this thread!

I'll be a maybe at this point to come down. If so, it'll be on Saturday afternoon at some point and will stay until Sunday Morning.

I should be able to confirm in the next couple of weeks.
