View Full Version : South Wales
Hello all,
Are any of the S Wales guys planning on meeting up anytime over the next couple of weeks? I wouldn't mind meeting up with a few of you before the big weekend at the end of July if you're up for it (or have the spare time to do it). I was thinking just for the day or overnight somewhere.
Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers.
Yeah, i'd like to join :D
As long as its after the 29th of june its more than likely that i can.
Ed? Jamie?
When I posted my intro's & welcome's thread I had a tremendous response. Which prompted me to post this thread which I must say I'm a little dissappointed with! I was expecting loads of replies....................... .....
.............................. ...c'mon guys, you can't knock a day/night out with the like-minded type! And it'll give the new members the opportunity to meet the long standing members.

sorry I must have missed this post.
I'm up for a day wandering around the dunes at myther mawr, that way you can see the site the Moot will be held at.
I am free most weekends, just let me know when you want to go

count me in marcja :D
Hi Marcja,
What part of Caerffili do you live?
If you wanted to meet up how about the Maenllwyd Inn in Rudry. We could take a walk around the woods
Frogo
It's easy to miss posts! :D
Yeah, let me know. Anytime after the 29th and im most probably free. Just say a date and a time and we can meet i the car park.
:D

I will be away this week but anytime after that is fine for me.
Frogo I had a wander around the woods near the Maenllwyd on Saturday as it happens. It's only 10 minutes away from me, I live in Abertridwr. Anytime you're keen give me a shout.
I do fancy a wander around MM though before the moot. Anyone needing a lift isn't going to be a problem I have plenty of space.
Any suggestions on a date, I have one day free most weekends?
I am free most weekends so i will leave it to you guys to pick a date
Same, but June is out and July will be tricky. (on the 30th of June i'll have a hangover, 1st July i'll be getting vaccinated, 2nd i'll be ill from vaccination, 3rd i'll probably have another hangover, and then that takes me to dartmoor/ashdown [forgotten which one it is :D])
;)
Just let me know dates and times and I'll try and make it ( if I'm not babysitting / decorating etc.....)
Hi Marcja,
What day are you free?
I will be up that way this weekend, maybe Friday or Saturday.
I often use the woods as it is not that far for me to walk to.
Frogo
Rollnick, seems your a bit tied up over the next few weeks by the time your free it seems we'll be at the MM moot!!
Frogo, I'd prefer MM over Maenllwyd through choice, in saying that I can't make this weekend anyway, thanks for the offer though, maybe next time.
On that note, I'm tied up this weekend (dog shows), next weekend I'm in Blackpool (another dog show). The following weekend (which will be the 2nd & 3rd) I'm free.
So shall we make it Saturday the 2nd July, if we're all free.
oooo seems I missed this thread aswell :(
I'm up for it..... and I'm sure I can drag a couple of people along. July is better for me though as work with the schools and colleges would have eased off for the summer, but my plans do change without alot of notice I'm afraid :(
:D
Ed
We should have a few after MM too. Perhaps arange them while there? :D
Right then, seems we're mostly agreed on July being the best time.
Jake - 'ill from vaccinations' come on mate, not the best of excuses, sure you could manage 2nd July, your in Craidff it'll be on my way so I'll even pick you up :rolleyes: Though I think arranging a few meets at MM moot would be a good thing. Maybe we could arrange 1st week of every (or every other) month or soemthing similar.
Anyway current agenda is looking towards 2nd July, let us all know who'll be able to make it (woolfie, make it stead fast in your diary mate [look forward to meeting someone with your knowledge of the area] seems your our prime guide around MM!). To the rest of you loooking forward to meeting you 'like-minded' people.
Firstly who plans on coming along & secondly who needs picking up & where from?
It looks like I too have a free days on that weekend..... nothing booked so far :D ......
Ed
2nd of july is good for me. I'll see you there.
The more the merrier.............eh! ;)
Curses! 2nd not too good for me. I may be able to pop along for a couple of hours max. but won't be able to stay for the day.
lol
2nd of July, MM carpark? I'll be there then. What time...?
:D
........I'm an idiot. :o
I spent tha last week trying to arrange a meet before we all go to MM and I get my dates all mixed up!!
Now I know it was me that suggested the 2nd July but that happens to be the day of my cousins wedding and it's set to be the familt event of the decade. My life wouldn't be worth living if I missed it, let's just put it that way.
Anyway, we don't want to dwell on that (bit of an optimist me!). Would we all be ok to rearrange and make it the 3rd July?????? Maybe it'll even work out better for some of you - Wolfie may be able to make it for a little while longer, Rollnick, definately no excuses because I too will be nursing a hangover ;) , as for the rest I hope I havent messed up your plans to much.
Let us know.
M
:P Sounds like a plan, i can't see any reason why not, but i have got a very busy few weeks ahead of me!
What time?
:D
3rd.... Thats the sunday ..... that should be ok for me :D
Did anyone want me to bring/demo anything? (We brought the fire by friction kits last time).... or just bring stuff to play with?
:)

Hi,
Just a quick post to see if the 3rd is still on, as nobody has posted in a while.
Any chance you can tell me what vehicles you have so I don't walk up to the wrong crowd :eek:
I will be driving a grey escort van

As far as I know we're still on 10am in the car park. I'll be in a BIG van - vauxhall movanno 3.5t LWB maxi-roof - it's a tad difficult to miss! SO you shoulldn't have any problems.
One other thing is this going to a weather permitting meet or are we up for what ever she throws at us?
Lookking forward to it.

Things have gone a bit quiet!!
Anyone care to confirm the meet is still on. I'd hate to be the only one to turn up :(

I think I'll be there, shouldn't be a problem sorting out the hootchie knots... looking at the weather it might be a good idea to bring one along!
:( :(
Sorry Marcja, couldn't get a lift up. Tried yesterday but to no avail. Next one?
Sorry.
Next one?
Firstly, I think it's fair to say we had a god day. Stuart, Cindy, Maverick, Paul, & myself had a good wander around the dunes played with some col toys courtesy of Stuart and wolfie popped his head in for half an hour to give us an idea of the best places to roam.
Whilst we were there we touched on the idea of trying to arrange a monthly or bi-monthly meet. Hopefully that'll take off therefore the 'next one' shouldn't be too far down the line.
There might even be a few pictures appearing on here soon.

Na your dog gave it away :D
Thanks for the knot advice, just put my basha up in the garden looks great.
A big thumbs up to stuart who brought lots of toys to have a look at.
I took a couple of pics, I wish I had taken more but I thought my camera was playing up.
Just to prove Justin Time was there, here he is trying out Stuarts Blow Pipe
(I cannot remember the proper name of it , I'm sure stuart will remind us)
