BG asking his North West chums said:
How many will be camping together in the North West group? The Yorkshire group are meeting up with the Midland group for the convoy. There will be quite a few of us in the Midland group camping together too. Was going to volunteer to do a chilli for the Saturday night, but it may end up a mammoth task and a rod for my own back if I have to cover North West, Yorkshire and Midlands groups.

Need names & proper numbers before I volunteer.

Thanks.

Can do a big tupperware tub of frozen chilli to feed about 24, cannot be arsed with doing rice too though. Just french bread and big chunks of butter to go with it.

Do you want me to bring some bread, butter nachos or what ever to go with the chilli??

Paddy
If you can pick up say a dozen french sticks and a couple of packs of butter thanks. A few boxes of Nachos would be good, some jars of salsa and green chillies plus cheese.

Anyone got a blow torch to melt the cheese?

Keep a note of what you spend and we can have a whip round to cover it.

A jar of mixed ones will be OK, but I can get a pack of fresh green ones anyway, whats that other stuff that goes on Nachos? is it mayo or sour cream? The tupperware tub for the chilli holds 13 litres, so that nearly three gallons of chilli

Anyway, something like this would be good on the side.

Would you people like me to bring cakes/ baked munchie goods? Or another chili or summit?

I could bring a stack of bacon, sausages & eggs for breakfast. They cook great on BBq's
Yes please, I sm sure folks will be bringing bacon & sausages etc, we usually pool it all together for a big breakfast.

Main focus has been Saturday night dinner, which looks well covered for us all now. Sunday & Monday breakfast will sort of come together without any organisation as long as we have the food. As for Sunday, a BBQ would be good, I will bring a few items for myself and some of those disposable BBQ's.

Is anyone able to bring a Gazebo? those £29.99 jobs from the supermarket. I will be bringing two, one for the entrance to our tent if the weather is poor, and one for all of us to use communally. We usually link several together to create a big covered area with folding tables and chairs under.

Dib, dib, dib.

I've got one of those 6 x 3 metre white polythene gazebo/party tents.
Marty, that would be fantastic, hope you can find the space.

It's a big pot, allegedly this is 24 servings. When its cooled down, its going in the deep freeze, then it will be one hell of an ice pack for the beers during the trip down

Yes, that's a chunk of green chilli you can see on the bottom right and its got Green & Blacks chocolate in there too, nothing finishes a chilli like chocolate

James here:

Running out of space in the Atom but I'm pretty certain the Gazebo will make it
James, there isnt any need to bother with the Gazebo, unless you want it over your tent as some personal space. I am bringing a 3x3 and a 6x4, Arnie is bringing a 6x4, and Jessica is bringing a huge five sided thing. At this rate we will have more undercover space than the main beer tent & stage
