Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Crow Sister (off with the fairies) Date: 16 Aug 10 - 02:19 AM What's the start date this Sept pleasey? |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Richard Bridge Date: 16 Aug 10 - 02:55 AM I got hauled over the coals for publicly discussing Knockholt Summer Solstice, so you chaps and chapesses ought to chase the usual suspects identified above, or there may be something on the Folkmob website. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: fisheye Date: 16 Aug 10 - 03:45 PM Hi folks, yes it's that time of the year again. the folkmob Knockholt camp is from Weds 8th Sept to Sun 12th Sept. Those that have been before know where it is and are welcome. Hopefully the weather will be friendlier than it was in June, however we are going to try and use the markee more. RB will you please arange for your usual services please, as i am getting weaker as i get older. Leadfinger: I am sure your face is familiar and will be welcome to join us. fisheye |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: VirginiaTam Date: 16 Aug 10 - 04:49 PM We will be arriving Sept 10 eveningish. Shared dinner is what night? Do you guys want my texmex stuff again? I supposed the banana nut bread is required. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Richard Bridge Date: 16 Aug 10 - 05:01 PM I will service the chainsaw and I suppose I am going to have to make harissa paste and tagine again. I may also be able to get a volunteer to make a sort of accompaniment thing involving cous-cous and very lightly blanched peppers, and a side salad with a non-mediterranean dressing, a peppery vinaigrette. I am planning to arrive Thursday and also bring the awning and maybe gazebo. That should make sure it rains. If anyone has a blown air paraffin heater we can run the blowers off generators - but just having it available should reduce the risk of chill! I have a large paraffin burning greenhouse heater but I am nervous of it in a crowded marquee with drunken folkies. I can vouch for Terry. Some of you may have met him at the late Dave Bryant's barbecues. He has a very nice Docherty mandolin. Terry PM me to obtain location details. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Girl Friday Date: 16 Aug 10 - 08:23 PM We have "gigs" on both Saturday and Sunday, so will probably not be camping this time. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: VirginiaTam Date: 17 Aug 10 - 02:59 AM bummer...... well I am glad you have gigs, but..... bummer |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Girl Friday Date: 17 Aug 10 - 08:06 AM Thanks Tam - they aren't paying gigs that's why I put the quotation marks....Gonna be singing in Gillingham for Gastove's Lifeboat Day, and running a singaround at The Wat Tyler Country Park Festival on Sunday. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: billybob Date: 17 Aug 10 - 08:41 AM Talking of Gastove, been trying to contact him as there is a folkie weekend in and around The Victory pub in Walton on the Naze over the weekend of September 3rd 4th and 5th. Just a few of the original Festival people getting together. Skinners Rats are playing I think on the Friday evening and we were hoping Gastove might come down. Any of the old festival friends are very welcome! Who knows from little acorns and all that? Wendy |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: fisheye Date: 17 Aug 10 - 11:06 AM I have just contacted the AA and they will not issue any stars for the Chefs. So please try and remember the Wine ,Women and Song bit. The meals are great however they do seem to segregate the intentional activities of the camp. There I've said my bit, so no Chefs paddies and no throwing of wooden spoons ....please. Fisheye |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Abdul The Bul Bul Date: 17 Aug 10 - 11:52 AM I never feel entirely comfortable about attending 'A Knockholt'. Whilst away I did have definite intentions.... but....deterred by the politics maybe. Still the threads are entertaining and this one is proving full of potential already. Al |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Richard Bridge Date: 17 Aug 10 - 12:00 PM Alcoholics Anonymous? We don't want them. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: fisheye Date: 17 Aug 10 - 12:13 PM Abdul The Bul Bul: we had a little spate about them, hopefully all done and dusted now, KH is a grown up family camp with music and drink....around a camp fire as big as i can get it. So bring your voice, guitar and some of that camel booze and enjoy yourself. fisheye |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Girl Friday Date: 17 Aug 10 - 12:36 PM I thought it ws Michelin who give out Chef's stars and travel directions |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: My guru always said Date: 17 Aug 10 - 01:23 PM How about if a pair of Knockholt Virgins get a chance to pop by? |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Leadfingers Date: 17 Aug 10 - 01:28 PM Assuming work is NOT offered , I may just bring a Single Malt to the party . And Guru - PM Fisheye and grovel a bit , but tell him I say you're a good singer ! |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: fisheye Date: 17 Aug 10 - 04:02 PM it is Michelin but because we did not have a suitable kitchen for inspection, i thought the AA or RAC may be hdlpful but they said the menu was not British. fisheye |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: The Barden of England Date: 17 Aug 10 - 04:07 PM Fisheye - Guru is a FABULOUS singer, and a lovely lady too. Invite her and partner PLEASE!!!! John Barden |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: fisheye Date: 17 Aug 10 - 04:25 PM JB: If you know Guru and partner and can vouch for them, then bring them with you as your guest. You know the formalities and who are welcome at our Knockholt camps. fisheye |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: fisheye Date: 17 Aug 10 - 04:27 PM RB: i have just heard via a swift Robin Hood arrow that some lubrication for the chain saw will be there for you. fisheye |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Richard Bridge Date: 17 Aug 10 - 06:50 PM Chainsaw before lubrication - or leg before bonfire? MGAS and Richard Atkins are very suitable except that I think he might drink the Tally Ho! dry. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Leadfingers Date: 17 Aug 10 - 07:13 PM I have just heard that Richard doesnt drink any more ! Sadly , at the same time I heard he isnt drinking any less ! |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: VirginiaTam Date: 18 Aug 10 - 02:45 AM wonderful... Hils is coming. Now if I can apply pressure to another stunning trad singer I know who is possibly backing out. We have to get these 2 together. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: My guru always said Date: 18 Aug 10 - 02:57 AM Wow, thanks so much for the welcome and to those who are vouching for us, (cheque in post Mr Barden)! I've popped it in my diary and I really hope that we can get along to join you for a day perhaps. I can confirm that Richard isn't drinking any less, but we can prop him in a corner when he gets to saturation point. As with most fella's he's a natural pyromaniac *grin* VT, am hoping to get a chance to catch up with you and CS at Moira this weekend. Looking forward to it! Will probably meet some of you at Ash, perhaps I should introduce myself.... |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: fisheye Date: 18 Aug 10 - 05:12 AM RB: I do not believe this lubrication for chain saw is drinkable. it may be useful for Harissa paste if fact it may cool some of the burning tendencies. fisheye |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 18 Aug 10 - 05:53 AM Hi Folks. Saints Preserve us dont start Noah off already with all this weather talk lets not go on harping about weather. Its a bad Oman? Look what happened about weather last June every one harping on about it on thread brought bad weather to us. I dont think Fisheye that the cooking segragreates the evening events. I think the people who do not want to get involved in cooking and feating segratrarte themselves from us cookies? "What" Pierre |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Richard Bridge Date: 18 Aug 10 - 07:58 AM Is that cookie a hash brown? |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Girl Friday Date: 18 Aug 10 - 08:57 AM Hils... let me know when you and Richard are going to be there. Saturday and Sunday are out though, but we can drop by another day maybe. See you at Ash |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Richard Bridge Date: 19 Aug 10 - 08:55 AM More Ale! |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: GUEST,Pierre at work Date: 20 Aug 10 - 06:27 AM I have spoken to Mick Forde and he has given his consent to put up the Marquee any time we want to earlier the better and he does not have to be on the field when we do it. The plan is if I and who so every else want to make a start on the Marquee we can in regards to fixing the roof stucture.Ie the Apexs and poles that make up the roof. and fix the roof canvas. We can then wait for more abled bodied folk to afix sides and lifting etc. We planned to do this last year but were told that we couild not untill Mick arrived. When Mick arrived he was somewhat bewildered. Regards Pierre. I would rather put a Marque up sober then to be asked to help when I have just got back from the Tally Ho and Iam completely Rat arsed. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Girl Friday Date: 20 Aug 10 - 06:38 AM Common sense prevails ! Now you just needs to sort out the fire responsibilities and all will be good. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: GUEST,Pierre Date: 20 Aug 10 - 09:14 AM I want now,t to do with the fire Sue "thats other folks concerns and there welcome to it? having said that On the Saturday night/Early hours Sunday I do not mind making sure the logs are all burned because it is one less job to do on the Sunday in regards to shifting the remaining logs to the the Dead tree flint pit. Last June I made sure all ther Logs were gone/Burned come Sunday. Regards Pierre. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 30 Aug 10 - 09:03 AM An indian summer in September that sounds good. I have had a fantastic crop this year of Tarragon Lemon Balm, Tomatoes the size of Cannon balls. Beet-root s ball variety and (cucumbers Yellow exotic cucumbers. corsets purple variety & Chocolate Peppers. These are all unique varieties grown from seed s from the rare seed company who specialize in the conservation of both very old and rare seeds. I have also grown a rare red sweet potatoes grown in bags made of woven black cloth resulting in a excellent yield. The seeds are damn expensive at nearly £!0,00 a packet but the yield is fantastic and of course one can leave some to go to seed for another bumper crop of all the above next year. |
