Uk Easter meet in sheffield anyone?
on: February 19, 2012, 09:48:14 PM
Having talked with sparky and 50ft trad. I am up for hosting a meet here in Sheffield (ok my back garden to be precise). Thinking Easter weekend as that allows people to travel good Friday and sort there stuff out on the Monday. Anyway pics below show the garden which should be big enough for our needs but hopefully it wont be that cold. Leave your name below if interested.
Thanks
Mark

Just looked at the pics they don't really show this flat ish area for camping.
Although I will have the house to myself (kids and wife will be at the monster-in-laws) so some bedrooms will also be available.

He'll be researching DIY metal detectors as we speak ... either that or a portable 415V electro magnet which'll instantly rip out anything magnetic buried up to 24" deep on a 8ft radius  :rofl:

Not sure exactly what's going on family wise that weekend but would hope I could at least make it over for the Saturday.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I'm also chucking a couple of calls in to see if there might be something interesting to go and see/do if anyone is interested, as well as the usual eating, drinking, and playing with sharp and shiny stuff   :whistle:

.... still work in progress right now (tricky to get access to a lot of stuff with it being a bank holiday - some places have already been ruled out), will feed back if there's chance of anything that might take our fancy
