Ross has certainly set the bar there but the good thing is there is a whole year to practise and get techniques perfected
I could possibly assist by rounding up some spare tricycles or chickens if admin decided they should be included .... ??

Maybe add a set of spike harrows somewhere in the long grass as a bonus or a few shed antlers lying around would add to the excitement.
Thank you Simon it was a great 2 days and people. The brownie I took lasted me to feilding.

Yep. Very enjoyable gathering. Thanks Simon and all you good buggers
The Nolan slalom event was an interesting innovation too

In my defense....


I got nothing.

Did ya get a team photo?

That one is pretty much it. The rest were gathered around the gas barby cooking a variety of meats. The only veges spied were in Woody's hotpot.

I showed my wife gathering photo of what I missed.

Geez she said . They're all old codgers.

Maybe next year.

They aren't old, they are just experienced

At least she didn't miss the spiker yesterday morning! Well done her.

Just got home and have cleaned up and been fed and watered. It was great evening and met some more forum members and put faces to forum handles (always a pleasure). I really appreciate that Simon generously gives of his organisational abilities, time and venue as these occasions serve each of our need for time for self.

Yes Maca and I solved all the problems of the world (which always happens when we get together) and as we go through the list the solutions are either “fuck em” or “shoot em” …. Oh except the one where we came up with the solution to two major global issues by deciding that feeding the homeless to the hungry was probably a good idea.

Bring on the next one. Autumn?

There's every possibility that Ross will have resat and passed his drivers licence, including the reversing bit, by then, so yeah, we could all be go for an Autumn one. Will just have to get A into G and amass some more ripping yarns over the holiday period to swap around the fire

@XR500
Thankyou again for arranging this get together allowing a highly convivial atmosphere of friendly, relaxed and lightheatred banter and exchange of views. The experience was food for the soul.
It was my first time and I would certainly hope to attend the next, or another. It was a great pleasure to meet previously unmet forum members and put faces to names.
Really appreciate the opportunity and trust to do a little stalking around your farm. You reside in a lovely spot.
Take care, until next time.
Cheers
GRANT

To hit that dead center in the dark took some skilled reversing. Thanks for the great company everyone. Thanks Simon for the effort put into hosting us on your property.

A little birdie told me that Maca had a bit of a headache this morning. He was blaming it on the smoke from the fire. Tui ad right there.

He must have hid the evidence: there was only about two dozen empties for me to chuck in the recycling, from 15 people. People's livers appear to have a lot more say over such events as you get more years under the belt.

I made sure to take my empties with me
