Ye Olde Kentish Bash ** 6th March 2010 **

[Matt_S]

Maybe next years bash should be held at Earls Court :shock:

 

[woodbloke]

Hey, I was joking, but that sounds fantastic, thank you!. I'll bring a cake.
How many are on the list now?
S

As was I Mrs O...anything else we can bring to add to the fare? Sounds like it'll be a goodly spread - Rob

 

[wizer]

Yes it's MrsO doing the cooking. MrsW has a cooking allergy

Glad everyone is happy with the arrangements. It may sound like we're trying to make it too formal, but it won't be like that at all. I don't envisage it being much different from what we've seen at other bashes, except for the Jigs talk which should be very interesting.

I suspect Mike and Matthew are looking in on this thread so hopefully your tool requests will be met. Obviously there is a limit to what they can bring (and let you play with).

 

[chingerspy]

If I can bring something along for nibbles then let me know.

I am a forced veggie (medical not political ) I'm allergic to Quorn too, it makes me grimmace every time I try it lol

I'm looking forward to finally meeting Matthew Platt. I'll be the guy waiting around at the back of the drooling throng...........without a wallet!

Perhaps the following weekend in March at Alexandra Palace would be more appropriate - oh dear, looks like they are already booked up :wink:

This is shaping up to be a super day. I wish I could go but....

Anyway, why don't you organise a Pot Luck dinner and some folk bring a dish. This would ensure those with allergies or aversions got something they liked and could eat without fear of intestinal repercussions.

Mike...drooling is the first sympton, after that comes a twitching sensation as the right hand starts to reach involuntarily for the back pocket :lol: - Rob

 

[Mrs Oryx]

Anyone who wants is welcome to bring stuff but I am very happy to cater for the masses. We only have very limited catering equipment in the workshop so the menu is carefully designed so we can have a warm lunch with minimum hassle.

Simon and I consider it our contribution as we both enjoy the forum and are looking forward to the day.

 

[big soft moose]

you will not be able to buy anything from them on the day.

thats what you think - sittingbourne is more or less on my way home so if i leave a bit early....

I met him for the first time last night (whilst swapping a chainsaw for a plane), a thoroughly top bloke imo.

 

[MikeG.]

(whilst swapping a chainsaw for a plane)

What were you thinking Pete?!!!!!!!! You've got too many planes already. And you didn't ask me. I'd swap my block plane for a chainsaw.

Mike

that was for work , not for me personally - he swapped a QS no 6 for one of our old saws (as previously for sale here for 75 notes so its a fair exchange).

and what do you mean "too many planes", I only have 2 block planes, 4 number fours, a number 4 and a half, two number fives, a number 7, and a big woody jointer (and two of the 4s and one of the fives is going to work soon)

 

[jimi43]

Phew....thanks for owning up to having four No.4s.

I thought having three was a disease....I feel....cleansed!!

Hoist on your petard, condemned by your own words.........you have too many planes!

You too Jim!

 

[big soft moose]

you have too many planes!

jealousy is an ugly thing

 

[Steve Maskery]

If anyone would like to bring their planer blades along, I'll bring my honing jig. We can have a fettling session.

[wizer]

Yes Please

 

[Waka]

Whilst lazing by the pool today with temps in the mid 30s, I started to think about the upcoming bash (shouldn't be doing that on holiday).

Can the organizing team please let us know what is a convenient time to appear?

Also, would they like us to bring a seat?
