cosmic dave Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi guys, when I started organising ems1 at the beginning of the year I booked the site and told the owners I expected there to be 10 to 12 people attending, that's what I thought a new starparty would attract. Anyway I pleased to say we actually have 26 ems members confirmed attending with several more still undecided. So Thanks very much for your support that's more than I dared hope for last January BRILLIANT !! Now lets hope for clear skies. PS, there is still plenty of room at the site if you still have not booked you would all be most welcome. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 good number there, can i ask who is organising barbeque on first night and what if anything we need to bring?? I have a small table that can be set on fire I don't mind LOL Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 26 + people atending, that is a fantastic number for our very first star party! So to echo some of the comments above, what are we doing regarding food? Is everybody bringing their own, are we having BBQ every night, so we all chip in, if we are all chipping in, actual food or cash and somebody goes get it all? Never done a star party before so not sure how you guys organise such things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Well done Dave, and to everybody from EMS for attending and hopefully making it a great starparty!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 We normally have a BBQ on one night, most likely Saturday night, in most cases it's myself and Noel who collects the money and gets the food and then it's a joint effort who cooks it, if it's me I set fire to things so a fire extinguisher is a good item to have around. The last one was cooked by Geezanova and myself with Noel barking orders from the sideline, it worked pretty well until the table caught on fire. We normally ask for £5 per person and try and supply burgers, sausages, chicken bits, and salad etc and any money left we buy some wine. It's not gourmet eating and Gordon Ramsay would die in shame but it's edible. As we have 26 people , I think we need alot more staff and maybe let an old man like me take a back seat, I can bark orders instead of Noel.

red dwalf Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 cooking for 26 might be alittle bit of an ordeal, maybe we could have a trip to the local or fish and chippy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's going to be a PITA thats for sure, I couldn't agree more Rob. Friday night a fish supper and Saturday night a pub meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Fish n chips sounds a good comprimise with 26 hungry mouths to feed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 May I hijack this thread by mentioning the stirling job Baz senior did at Kelling's BBQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic dave Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thinking we should wait and see the weather before make any firm plans on the BBQ, a joint effort sounds the way to go tho, have u still got ur kelling burnt table Mick ? To use as a stand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I will never part with it, it's a work of art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 just a question i thought it was not near anywhere so fish and chips would be a problem as by the time they arrive they will prob be cold??? Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 26 portions of chips should keep eachother pretty warm for quite a while I would have thought due to the sheer mass of potato! I can pop to Costco for burgers, bacon, etc if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Dave, how are we 'doing' the bring'n'buy sale? Set time or all day? In one place or at each's tent front? Any idea's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teslar Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm very late on this as I thought I was "required" else where but seems I now have the weekend free. Just dropped an email to Manor Farm and hopefully they will have a hard stand available still. Off so it would be nice to catch up with you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
