Right- spare bit of material from Matt's poncho is about to become 2 ponchos reserved for the above. There is not a lot of fabric but it should do the job.
There are still 2 'girly' gypsy style ponchos but 1 is currently reserved for Tiggy unless I hear otherwise.
I am currently poncho-less too, I just havnt had the time to go out and find one. Work have been exceptionally low on staff and I have been the one getting bummed for it 
I shall be going to get the second lot of plates and stuff in a little bit and then popping to Asda to get some food
Wild Lotus: I will just give you the reciepts and stuff and you can work out whatever you need to work out from that

Flibster said:First thing in the morning - sitting at it with my fresh coffee, music, chocolate chop brioche *ooooh mama!
Although...could do a spag bol one day for a few people *depends on the size pot and the amount of mince I can get....* and if someone else can do the pasta..

Just to check are you and the Missus planning on self-catering for some/all of your meals? Not a problem but would help me to get an idea of numbers we are buying for and I will adjust your charge accordingly. It sounds like there could be some trading going on anyway for your luxury goods
Attention:
Anyone else want to declare they are in or out of the kitty?
Friday night will be available to all as generously catered by mummy and daddy Matblack but meals after this will be from the kitty.
One thing that everyone may have overlooked is a set of flip-flops. Handy for getting to the toilets at night once you're ready for kip, and also for the showers.
The kitty sounds fine to me, though I may try to persuade my lodgers to assist with that

*makes a note to self* You must get another girlfriend, you're missing out on great socialising prospects..
For the record I'm in for the kitty. This thread is so long I'm forgetting what I have and haven't agreed to (do?).
Think I've got the important ones covered:
Pack assorted suitable bits in car for travel and camping in Wales.
Drive to Beserkers, collect said person and said persons items.
Drive to St Petrox / MB's parent's farm.
Wear Mexican gear.
Oh yeah.. Bring guitar.
Ummm...?
But I might be wrong 
Great minds.Piggymon said:
I've got a few 40-packs of Wet ones family wipes. Shall I bring 'em?
I'll bring a six-pack of coke. I'm a diet coke man myself, but I got some of the normal stuff as well. Can get more Saturday.Haly said:BTW has anyone got coke? I forgot to buy someAnd only remembered the vodka

Just volunteering my catering (non)ability - happy to do a spag bol if people don't want Chilli though. I'm not the worlds greatest chilli lover tbh.
In for the kitty though. As for the Luxuries..Choccie bhip brioche, french choccie, fresh ground coffee...not that luxurious is it?
Coke wise - Got a 24 can pack in the car at the moment *although some will disapear on the trip down... 5 Hours!!

Oh yeah.
Errr...By my calculations it's around 4hrs 20mins to Matblacks parents place - from South Mimms.
Wants people to turn up around 6ish... Meet there around 1pm ish?
Sadly not bringing anything interesting car wise...none had enough luggage space. Did think about the F1 LM though - then thought of the petrol costs. ~18mpg normally...
Anyone who wants my mobile number - email address in sig.

Mat, I know it's very very late but would it be okay if I came on the meet? My holiday didn't go to plan and I'm back early and able to come.
I think transport is okay and everything else. Can't get you on msn so this is my alternative.
Get hold of me on msn if you can, I've added you.

Right:
There are no showers
I have just tasted the first batch of 'Chilli' which is mild to say the least, Dad has also made what cannot be described as chilli and is basically a bolognaise with some kidney beans in it which tastes exactly like bolognise, so if people can eat spag bol they can eat this. No need to be cooking different things or bringing extra stuff. There is a veggie chilli for protein dodgers and baked potatoes, unless you are VERY fussy you will be OK. Please at least try the non chilli - chilli if you don't like hot things, you will be fine.
There will be a batch which he is doing at the moment which will be hotter plus I'm trying to get the medium spiced up as it is currently very mild. These can be mixed to any combination so you should be able to produce something to suit.
Meat has been ordered for saturday and will be collected on the day.
Parking will be a slight nightmare but we will get it sorted as people arive. Please be patient, we will fit you in somewhere. Tiggy there is a space reserved for you where you will be able to get out without anyone having to move a car so you will be OK day and night should you need to excape (this service isn't being extended any further so anyone but Tiggy, don't bother asking).
It pee'd down with rain this afternoon so the ground is soft but the forcast for the next few days is good.
Once you have arrived H will move among you asking for your kitty money, please either volunteer it or wait to be asked, shes an accountant and shes paid for everything on her credit card so debits will be called in.
Have good journeys tomorrow and don't forget the speed cameras,
See you tomorrow
