All paid... sorry it took so long..

Jem · **Posted:** Fri Sep 20, 2024 12:17

No apologies necessary, I only panic when it's the morning of and I'm still chasing people.

As it happens this year has been the smoothest yet to organise. The balance is covered and we are good to go :metul:

Woohoo!! Looking forward to it.

It really snuck up this year, but the last 4 weeks appear to have taken about a year.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Fri Sep 20, 2024 22:49

I am looking forward to seeing you all. It has been ages

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:09

Roughly a year I reckon, Kov

I formally apologise, knowing full well I’ll do it again, that I forgot I have an account. Oops. Thank you for organising and chasing us!!! I’ll bring my camera if I feel like being a creepy paparazzi again. I also picked up Tarot (very novice) and a few were nice enough to let me practice at MeatUp so just grab me if you want your future read*

*this isn’t how it works I’m not psychic it’s more like surprise therapy. Fun?!

Can’t wait to see you guys!!

Helen (Playlist Beast) is also looking forward to meeting everyone / seeing MeatUp people again

Also please bring Willow. Wipeout v. Willow (friendly match) would be excellent

Will there be a wine tasting again this year? That was easily one of my favourite cottage experiences. I'd be happy to chip into wine costs!

We were wondering this too. I shall prod Cras and Curio.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Mon Sep 23, 2024 20:20

I can confirm, there will be wine tasting!

KovacsC · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 9:52

will there be a running club, or is that dependant on wine club

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 9:57

Could always combine the two!

I was hoping to do something on Sunday morning

also potentially doing parkrun with Gaz on Saturday.

JBR · **Joined:** 2nd Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 3302

I'll certainly be heading to a parkrun - I've done the nearer ones, but Shipley Country is only 40mins away, Battlestead Croft 20. There are others nearer for the non-obsessed.

Jem · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:21

I don't have a "B" so wouldn't mind that one!

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:21

Yeah, I'd do a run on Sunday morning (and also parkrun on Saturday morning -- we were looking at Markerton or whatever its called, but we'd both be up for Battlestead Croft if you have room in your car for the two of us JBR? (I'll only have room for one passenger in mine)

JBR · **Joined:** 2nd Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 3302

Yes, I've room for two (or three!)

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:47

Run there, you lightweights.

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:53

We will if you will

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 19:45

Would anyone be interested in a Fiasco at Cottage?

It's a fun single-shot narrative TTRPG system, replicating Coen-Brothers-esque movies that's really easy to play and shouldn't take more than three hours.

I've done Long Eaton park run. It's flat and you do a couple of laps. I probably would have enjoyed it more had I not spent the previous day running around the same park for ten miles ,then getting absolutely shitfaced as it was new years eve. BigOne gave me a pint of gin with a glace cherry in it at eleven pm.

I need to decide on my wardrobe, from my arrival gear to the fancy dress evening.

Should never leave it to the last minute.

Had a sudden flashback to the tomato sauce request through the window this morning, and found myself chuckling.
