Drinking with Brian Bruce last night. He can't make it this year. It will be strange in that field without him and his taylors.

I went to this a couple of years ago. I had a really great time. I met Dave & woodsie and we played around this amazing bonfire until 9 am the following morning. I'll try and make it Thursday night.

Chinaman - are you sure that the crowd huddling together at the end of the field didn't actually say Baaaaaaaaa ?

If anyone needs a tent, LIDL's are doing a great looking Eurohike style one for £25, but as with most of these item's they're usually ony around for a week or so. There's also a much bigger version (which should accommodate at least half a dozen sheep) for about £80.

Mindblaster, the only cost is for camping (mainly to cover the cost of the Portaloos) and that's only £4 per unit (ie tent caravan etc) per night.

Very cheap unless you decide to buy one of the sheep an expensive necklace (or unless you add the average cost of booze consumed)

Is this an open invitaion or just a closed club?

I ask because, the last event I went to, nobody would talk to me, they all huddled together at one end of the field and I was at the other. When I approached, they would shout "F**k off you slanty eyed chink!"

How I would love to join some friendly folky type of people for fun & drink.

Unfortunately I'll miss this Again as it clashes with Alcester FF. Bu**er!!

The knockholt page is a seperate site from the folkmob one. It is a freebie, hence the banner ad. Pat says that he has received the beer ok. Debbie is just worried that he make drink it all before we get there!

The actual link is to http://www.freewebs.com/knockholt/Sleepy.jpg

It seems to work OK after I've been into the Folkmob ->What's On -> Knockholt page - it's the last picure on that page.

Try this link to get into the page - I haven't been through all the hmtl to see how the site works.

The beer "Knockers" has been brewed (O.G. 1.056 - I reckon it'll come out at about 5.4%abv). I'm just wating for DIPSODEB'S husband Pat to bring the Pressure Cask round tonight so I can hand it over for conditioning.

Linda's planning to have an "Awning Raising" ceremony so that we can try out that bit of the new caravan.

Midnight Rambler - the latest edition of the "The Hitchiker's Guide to Galaxy" describes it as "the third best piss-up in the galaxy", but the two which beat it are noted as being fatal to all participants ! - mind you this picture of Richard Bridge proves that it's not that far behind !
