hendersons Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Some of you may have seen my thread about bread from a couple of weeks ago. As a result of this I have now checked with all concerned (at work) and have been given the go ahead. It will have to be on a sunday evening as this is when we are closed. It will be held in Fairford at the restaurant at which I work. I will lay on some food for all who attend mostly out of the things I have shot, but if anybody else would like to make a donation of anything they have shot I can collect and store and cook it. Blunderbuss had the idea that we could each bring something to save me doing all the cooking but I will leave that up to you to decide if that is what you would like to do. I will set out a buffet table so you can all help yourselve from as this is the easiest way to go about it. As far as booze is concerned it will be on a bring your own basis. If anybody has any idea about dates or anything else then do not hesitate. Bakerboy will be coming too and even bringing some of his bread, if that doesn't pull a few in nothing will. I should probably say that I'm pretty busy until the second week of august so it will have to be after or on then All the best Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I do a monthly trip to the Wickwar Brewery so a few cases of Bob or Cotswold Way can easily be provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be easier for you if you placed a poll on dates as per the Herts butchery course, please do not ask me how to do it, but I am sure there is someone out there that can sort it for you. cheers terry Plus of course how many you can cater for Edited June 27, 2011 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Anyone local to Dursley / Wotton want to share a cab? Don't want to drive for this one. Can't offer any shot meat at the moment (only clays and they are a bit bland) but I'm a bit of a wine buff so could sort a few bottles out.

njc110381 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I wouldn't mind tagging along to this if possible. There are a few names here that I'd really like to meet. If we need some Venison or Rabbit I can (as long as the animals cooperate) sort that with a bit of notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbuss Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Nick, Sunday 14th is good but I'm away for the next 3 Sundays after that. I can share a taxi with Fisherman Mike and njc110381. There's a couple on here who've sampled my pheasant pasties. I might knock a few of those or a game pie up. For ingredients I'm sure I could provide some rabbits if they play ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple on here who've sampled my pheasant pasties. I might knock a few of those up Oh no! You don't want those pasties lads, they're awful! Just give them all to me and I'll take them home and get rid of them for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I would be up for it (dates depending), already spoke with thunderbird and we are hoping to share a lift, so if any body else is our way lets get together to spread the costs . If you were going to sort the food then couldn't you ask people for a donation via paypal to cover any costs? or as already has been mentioned people could bring some food.

hendersons Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks for the offers of booze and meat guys much appreciated. I'm not too bothered about any financial donations as that's not really the idea of it. I will forage and shoot what I can and if anybody else can help provide a bit of stuff that would be superb. I can probably collect anything that anybody has shot (and would like me to cook) at some point on the week before and it will give me a bit of time to knock up few things in advance. Provided we can shoot enough between us all the cost of the other stuff is relatively negligible as it won't be a buffet the likes you would fnd at the savoy with foiegras and caviar everywhere. Just a few bits of veg or salads and some spuds or something I would like the stuff we shoot to be the star of the show and of course bakerboys bread (which I'm very excited about). I just think it would be nice for us all to be in one Place for once and to have a yarn. We just need one of the mods to come along so we can get the stocks out and use this for entertainment. The pasties sound particuarly good imma sucker for a Pastry wrapped bundle of joy, just ask my ever increasing waist Atb nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsm1968 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Anyone local to Dursley / Wotton want to share a cab? Don't want to drive for this one. Unfortunately I'm only around for the first week end in August. After that abroad for a month. I'll be up for it if it's then or if it lands up in September.

clayface Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I am a complete newbie to the forum and shooting really but would love to meet some folk if it is open to all.

OddJob Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'll bring my hat....seriously though, would like to pop over for this as I'm over that way a lot.

Thunderbird Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nick, would it be useful for us all to PM you email addresses and then perhaps we can set up a list of who's interested and available and then go from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 If you need crows and pigeons let us know so i can hold some back from the game dealer. I will crown them out but need numbers. If someone is heading your way from gloucester then would they be so kind drop the pigeon breasts off. Crows are for NJC as he has cast iron guts. only dates holding me back are:- 27-29/08 (ragley hall show) 11/09 (frampton show) 17-18/09 (midlands fair) 01-02/09 (gatcombe fair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendersons Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Sorry to all those who I haven't replied to yet. I'm pretty busy at work at the moment. I have been working 18 hour days so I haven't been online. I will endeavour to reply later on this evening. Ive just managed to grab a couple of minutes now so I thought I would just post up the date that is looking best for me at the moment. It will be the 14th of august. If nobody can make it we can arrange another time but I thought I would just throw this out there for now. So please say yes or no and we will take it from there. I will be back online again after work tonight as it looks like I will Finnish a bit earlier. Sorry again for not replying quicker but it will be done tonight Many thanks nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 18 hours?! And you want to spend any time you do have spare cooking for this rabble?! Just get back to us when you can, no rush. I think the 14th is ok with me. I'll check with the mrs. When you get a moment can you just tally up on here what evryone has offered/what you have, and what you need if possible? I'll spend a few days before hand trying to make sure anything you're short of is in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
