Right...i've spoken to Jamie @ The Railway and he's fine with us having the beer garden on Sunday 25th, and we can also use the marquee and barbecue!

Unfortunately we can't have the Railway on Sun 25th after all as they have a charity thing on, but we can have it on Sat 24th if that's any good..

I did mention this last year! Maybe next year we could put the Garden party on the first May holiday? Just a thought!

After starting this topic, I feel quite guilty, I realised some weeks ago that I would not be able to attend, so my apologies in advance. It's half term and I have my two children for the week back in Somerset and I've not seen them since Easter.

The first May holiday would certainly suit me better!

to be honest, i can't see it happening this year.. there doesn't seem to be any official movement towards actually arranging anything, and andreas hasn't mentioned anything else about being able to use the Railway..

Jamie's still willing to let it go ahead on Sat 24th, but I cannot commit myself to the organisation of it and don't even know whether i'll be going or not! I'm literally in the middle of major house developments and that weekend lends itself perfectly to getting a lot done. He wouldn't put a BBQ on or provide meat, but he is more than happy to let someone else do it, thus removing liability from his shoulders should anyone die from food poisoning or something...

yeah, that's basically what i mean - i think everyone feels a bit like that, hence why i don't think anything will be done.. not that i can talk - i'm the biggest procrastinator stafford has ever seen lol..

Just change the location... for this year and those people who ARE in or around Stafford get yer hands on some Middle of nowhere tickets* and join us for a weekend of drinking, music and merriment :banana:

*available from Guitar and son or the Grapes :D

Sounds like a plan, unless we have a general beer garden drinking afternoon for those not inclined to go to the festival...minimal organisation, and people can come and go as they wish.

That's the 25,000th post if i'm not mistaken! :dance:
