A couple of minor points in preparation for Saturday’s West Country extravaganza… The scheduled closure of the A371 has been postponed until January, so getting here (whether by road from Bristol or by train) will be a bit easier. The chosen theme for CD compilations is “Once Upon A Time”. Because of technical issues of various kinds, at least a couple of people (DarceysDad and me) are unlikely to be able to produce actual cds, so it would be good if everyone could bring along a memory stick instead to download playlists. I think that’s everything; get in touch (email, or comments here) if I’ve forgotten anything important. Full report and pictures will appear here in due course.
What’s the dividing line between a social and an extravaganza? Fireworks?
Once upon a time* an ‘extra van in Gaza’ would have carried agricultural products such as strawberries, citrus, dates, olives, flowers, and vegetables – now it’s a variation of fireworks.
…. a social on the other hand is anywhere unkempt RRers hang out – hoping DsD can help with the finer pleasantries of collective chat. Fireworks only appear after the third pint of home brew.

I’ve DBed my CD because we (wife Sue and I) are travelling tomorrow so I can’t do it then.
Unable to think of a lot of songs about jousting and the rack, I decided to interpret the topic as someone who sounds ethereal. Thus, hope you will enjoy a CD of cover songs by Marissa Nadler.
Should some, ahem, miracle occur and I actually get to burn CDs, how many would I need to do?
Current attendance list has eight definites (not including occasional other halves) and a couple of outside chances.
Thank you!
Now, if you can just persuade DsD to strap a webcam to his head and stream it live on the Spill…..
I haven’t burnt a CD, but my compilation is on a flash stick.
See you tomorrow.
I’ve made CDs and will bring a memory stick, looking forward to it, see you tomorrow!
Not only is my computer incapable of burning discs, I can’t find any of my memory sticks either. I suppose I have the advantage of being the host and so able to copy things directly onto the computer…
