South Coast Chapter Camping Weekend

[Piglet]

Hey, if it's successful we could all skip Le Mans next year and go to the same field. Just play motors TV very loudly in the background and no-one will notice the difference!

I think that's our plan for 2009 

(edited to add I think it's Eurosport this year again...)

...and another mate has kindly offered the use of his hog roast machine.

I've heard of cooking hogs in cast iron bathtubs, buried in the ground, on spits and on many varieties of grills but I've never heard of a "hog roast machine", can you please enlighten this uninformed American with what exactly that is?

[Leftie]

Gonna have to check on that... otherwise its hire the field opposite and a big Generator.
If we can have All of Andy's field then should be ok.

Have you asked permission from the Noise Abatement peeps? Invite all the neighbours then they can't complain

Hey Mom.. you are not far afield. Its an electrically driven spit which is encased in a stainless steel tube with closed ends, a hinged lid and adjustable gas burners down both sides. Simple,  Piggy (up to 180 lb Cleaned), clamped on spit, fire up and shut lid. 6 to 8 hours later you have a fine fully cooked hog with a full skin of crackling and perfectly cooked meat... mmmm
There is another Hog Roast Machine but he wont be invited

Location looks to be moved further down the farm into the valley.... All neighbours will be informed, invited and given ear plugs. Noise wont be an issue... as long as its not too bad and finishes early enough... Say 5am..
Massive genny is available as are portaloos... its gonna be a big one!!

I'm sure from sound (pardon the pun) engineering experiences that excessive noise in valleys will be directed upwards to the stars

[Lord Pig-Pen]

Please could all those interested PM me with numbers etc... I have a meeting/drink in the local tomorrow nite with the land owner.... he loves cash!
It looks like this will be a good event so early input is vital... the more the merrier, but I need to know numbers asap if you could please folks.
Cheers
