Big Spring Tasting

[Mash]

There has been some chat about getting together for a big tasting.

Option 1
Camp over. Arriving on the Saturday, pitch up. All hands BBQ for supper. Tasting around a camp fire.

Option 2
Curry over. Some towns have BYO curry houses. Let's find one with a few cheap B&B's. Vodka jellies are good for these events

Sunday head home when safe.

I am happy to organise but would people would be interested?

Ideas.. Thoughts.. Comments?

Option 1 for me...would be easy to sort out.

VJ's and a curry house are not worth my travel time.
It is surely intended as a tasting and get together, not a quick piss up?
I favour the first option.
If you can find a campsite,in the North of England,that caters for all camping methods,then I may be up for this.

Thanks Robert.

I agree with you the geography will be important.

Let's see how many people are interested.

[Toper]

The idea of of sampling others product and, proffering mine for sampling, intrigues me.

[Easydrinker]

Aye, me also.
I would take along a best favourite Malt, and a best favourite neutral.
Time is too short for anything more.

Bugger. I thought "Best non column neutral " as an idea for a the comp for the event.

I think it's a lovely idea but would need firm promises by members to actually attend if they say they will.

I'd suggest a Bank holiday weekend over the summer some time.

I'd like to attend but with my elderly parents care to consider, I don't know how I'm fixed until very near the time.

That would be nice

Would give anyone time to get there and relax with an extra day

This is a worry as we were going to a get together a few years back and had to cancel at the last moment, but that's life.

Bank hols are a good idea in principle except, campsites will be teeming with punters.

Might be more difficult to arrange campfires/discounts/block bookings etc -Just a thought?

Well then, good for you Mash for starting this....and may it happen.

FTR I would LOVE to come (though I suspect no one shall be forthcoming with the airfares ) and I hope you can grab a decent cross-section of fine forum folk to attend.

IMHO, just set a time/date and go for it mate....as(in Australia at least) all good intentions of a get-together may fail to eventuate when trying too much to please the masses.

[Icefever]

Fingers crossed...it will come to fruition. we're working on it.

Bang on mate, I recommend that Ice says "here" and "now", be "there", or miss it.
I'll do my best...

Im up for it if it aint to far from me

The best thing about forums I've been involved with has been putting faces to screen names.

Through this, my wife and I have met some people who will be friends for life.

If this forum can arrange a weekend get-together and it's within a hundred miles radius, then I will look forward to meeting you.
