Sheila Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 TBH if it's clear and dark you won't get me to leave the site. A BBQ would be best IMO, or depending on numbers would it be at all practical to contact a local Mobile food trader to do something like a Hog Roast or something maybe? I seriously doubt they would charge for attending, only for the food people wanted as most of the time such traders have to pay to be allowed to trade at such events. Just an idea, but it means none of us would be liable for the food or the pitfalls of Health and Hygiene etc implications. Edit: P.s. I am involved with events at Skegness Stadium and know the various caterers there who may either be willing to do something or recommend something else? I agree Mike if its a clear night i dont think anyone will want to leave the site and risk that the next night is not clear Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I love the idea of BBQ or mobile food van as mike suggested. I also agree on not leaving the site if its clear. It'll be my first star party so I'll be up for an all nighter and sleeping during the day! Right tomorrow I will definitely remember to book my pitch!

Brantuk Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Or a fish 'n' Chips van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Fish n chips would get my vote but then so would many other mobile food vans! It would be quintessentially British having a chippy though. Seems perfect to me;imagining crystal clear, dark skies with the best seeing ever, good company and some fish n chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Would love to come to this, doubt I will be able to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) am working on the other half problem is it is her 40th that weekend - that being said we are not going away that weekend as kids at school week after, so will keep trying (obviously she would be coming with me and the kids would be at grandparents so think I may even win this one ). If I do it may be a fairly late thing though - is there likely to be any late availability on pitches?

Brantuk Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Phone them up Paul - you're bound to get in. Book it any way and if for any reason you can't go just give them as much notice as possible - two weeks notice at least would seem fair. Can't solve the 40th thing for you but rebrand it as a romantic weekend away under the stars lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Our back up plan is a few trips into Skeggy and Mablethorpe to mess around on the vintage pinball machines, throw a ball in a hole horse races, and pick a teddy from a glass box using a hand crane. A good steak in the local hostelry with a bottle of wine. Then watch TV and video's in the caravan at night till the weather clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 She has an interest to be fair but wouldn't do that to you - was more thinking pre-event to get her interested in going.
