Is there any bloke members going or is it just the chicks going.   :drunken_smilie:
what?..you are not coming if all are not chicks? Wanted to be only male amongst the us all?  :tongue3: Sorry to disappoint you but as you probably already notice...some bloke members are coming and suppose there is those OH's too.

As for what to bring...hmmm...I think I might do a CAKE with some  new season berries perharps...

Sorry I can't make it, previous arrangements mean I have to be in Cambridge all weekend. I'd have loved to come, it's a great site. Not been on here much recently but reading through this thread, DebP mentioned it last night, I might look in more often!

I will contribute to lunch by making some free range egg and mayonnaise sandwiches.  The eggs will be from my own hens.  As we will be staying in Birmingham, I will make them up fresh on Saturday morning and keep them in the caravan fridge until the last minute.

It seems it will probably be another scorching hot day.  Is there drinking water on the site Betty and shall we bring our own glasses?   I could bring a bottle of squash if you have suitable water there. 

I am looking forward to meeting you all.

The sandwiches sound lovely Pauline!

There is drinking water, but in this heat it will be luke warm.  We do have
a fridge but it's only small.  I think I will bring some water from home and keep it
in a cool bag.  Squash would be a good idea, thank you.  I'll bring some too.
We have lots of polystyrene cups if people don't mind using those, otherwise there
are mugs.
I'll put tables and chairs outside under the trees so it will be nice and shady there
for those (like me) who don't like the heat.

Was thinking of mushroom pate but haven't made it before.  Got the ingredients, all I need now are very brave tasters.

Wish I could be in on it, but sadly, not in the same country! Hope you all have a brilliant time, I will be thinking of you all!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

What about courgette pie? :toothy10:   I could put it on the engine to warm it up.  I used to know someone who cooked eggs and bacon on their engine.

I'm at the wrong end of the country! The drive would be too long for me these days - so, please folks - take lots of photos so that those of us who can only be there in spirit can see what you all get up to  :wave:. Have fun in the sun  :sunny:.

Sounds good.  A bit of engine oil always adds something to a meal :toothy10:

Well, we've just done a couple of chicken & ham pies.  Assuming that the jellied stock sets, and the whole thing doesn't disintegrate, we'll be bringing one of those.
