Last year AWN Andwhynot www.flickr.com/photos/10629863@N07/3392630267/sizes/s/in/...


set up a Barbie on the common. We had a great time and we were talking about it last night at Boxgrove and decided we would love to do it again.

So we thought maybe convert one of the SCC & Friends Friday night shoots into a PAN & SCC AND FRIENDS bbq either on the common or at one of our fave night shooting and jumping (for some) places in Eastney.

would you like to play?
And is Friday a good evening for it, I’ll cross post to SCC too

Vass and Scott can bring thier kites and we can set fire to the food again :-)

(you can carry this on if you like AWN or I will s'up to you !)

anyway linky linky to SCC & Friends www.flickr.com/groups/sccf/discuss/72157624223089821/

(where have those links to images gone very annoying these new changes)

Switch Staunton on the 16th to the 9th instead of the ruin in South Harting, as i believe the ruin is on private land anyway. Correct me if i'm wrong anyone.

That way Scottie boy can come on the 16th, when he joins the real world of food again!

Diana Goss:emulate me!  Pro User  says:

Vass says South Harting is accesible :-) so there !

6th Aug would be better maybe as we are not set on any place for that as yet

hang on lets just say 16th July for bbq when Scottie can eat again and change the other location dates thingys

Would like to come and burn sausages on 16th Jul. Might be an idea if one thread gets closed either here or SCC to keep all discussions together.

O/T South Harting easily accessible but also visible from road and clearly marked as private. Of limited appeal to a group unless you all want to come home with the same shot.

The common is better for flight with kites because of the winds but the clear space too. Ideal too for BBQ as it's designated as being so.

Eastney not so good for either.

Besides for health and safety reasons when we set fire to the kites we don't want it getting in anyone's way!!! :)

To fly the 1.9 metre foil or the delta that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler on the common to suffer
The strings and ripstop of outrageous flying
Or to take kite-killers against a wind of troubles,
And by flying end them? To fly: to BBQ;
No more; and by a flight to say we end
The revolution and the thousand natural shocks
That Mark and Scott are heir to, 'tis a revolution
Devoutly to be wish'd. To fly, to perfect;
To master: perchance to dream of skill and success: ay, there's the crash;
For in that flight of fancy what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the jokes and scorns of time,
