The date for the #2M&G is the weekend of the 12th/13th Aug...it's now set in stone.

I'm working on the where, I'll need to talk/email whichever site and check if there maybe a rally type area which we could use.

OK, My thoughts here, and aimed primarily at Icefever; the Holiday weekend of the 23rd to 28th seems good to me, it allows people to check into the event for a day or two, while allowing hard core types to stay the course.
No way is this projected event to be a "bloke only" thing. I would not attend.
And remove any implied sexism/gay phobia thoughts from your minds.
I would want to meet the partners of stilling colleagues.
I would also not object too much to a mini Anavrin spilling my Whisky; this event, if it happens, is a "Family" thing, I have no objection to children being present...
Possibly, they are even a bonus, this should be like minded people meeting, not hard core piss heads trying to outdo each other.
I will travel to any location.

OK Brian, pick a date, say it is so.
Say it is where.
Sorry to put you under pressure here, but you put your neck in the noose.
I will be there to try and shoot the rope

But do it soon.
Don't feck around trying to please everyone. Whatever you organise will please me
And then get it away from here.
I wish to delete this thread.

Robert.

I'm only looking at family sites...got one on the shortlist with a pool....and the idea of a comp would be fun. Put your likker up and see how it fairs against others.

We have a large gazbo...one of those 6 sided ones, I'm thinking if the site owner will let us erect it in the corner out of the way...who knows???..Gaza on the BBQ...

All I would suggest is its a family caravan/campsite rather than an adult only one, that kind of scuppered it for me staying over during the summer holls, I get it about not wanting kids around lots of alcohol but I'm sure at least one of us will be far enough away for us to meet up and have a bit of a tasting.

Plus if it's going to be a bigger event, we should perhaps have a little competition, (no prises) but maybe create a few categories like Vodka, whisky, dark rum, white rum etc.

The good thing about August is you can always rely on the weather

Ice, are you magnetically attracted to AUGUST

It's the middle of our "summer" and Aug is the only month that is easier for Mrs Ice.

What date do you have in mind???

Ice,

Not saying it is or must be "lads only" ....just observation that it most likely will be.
On that basis I was just trying to make it easy for us chaps to get a pass, by avoidng the obvious conflicts?

PS are you magnetically attracted to AUGUST

Robert.

Right one more go at a date. ....as the 2017 bank holiday fell flat, why when it can add up to 3/4 days off making a long weekend.

The "lad's only" suggestion went down like a concrete balloon with Mrs Ice, she wants to know why?? She thinks it would be great for the girls to have a natter while the guys do our thing.

With a rethink then what about the 2nd weekend in Aug?? the 12/13?

Icefever, you have just become THE man to organise next years M&G.
Pick a date real soon.
I will be doing a more local week away sometime next August, but will do bestest to fit it around a M&G.
Just pick a date mate, as I have previously stated,the location is less important for me than the date for myself.
Given warning, be there or be square!

Robert

Probably a good idea with the bank hols traffic.

Agree. I would join in. If we consider that this is probably going to be "the lads" meeting up, probably best to avoid times that might clash with partners. Or put another way.. Is it worth avoiding bank hols?

I seem to recall that there's a few of us down this way - though I don't always recall the "who and where"........

It is hard, I'm only going on what the members put down for their locations....so do I take it that you 3 guys are "up for it" .

I will have time over the next 11 months to search out a possible place. Also we should try to keep it say over a 2 day event....that way it gives folks the time to travel there on the Fri, and then the return on the Mon.
