Right, here goes. LFGSS Barbecue plans for the summer: Cornelius and I went down to visit the site, and we've talked to a few of you at drinks since then to work out what we'd need and what we'll have on the day. So here's our first call for volunteers:
Clearing up the site
The garden's not been used for a while, so its overgrown and a needs some tender loving care. So we need a few people to volunteer to spend a few hours with a broom and some plastic bags to bring it back to life.
So if you have any of the following we could borrow for a day or two:
Garden strimmers / hedge cutters
Secateurs - short and long handles (I've got some I can bring too)
Gloves
Brooms
Hacksaw
Chug_It's kindly offered the use of his meaty oil barrel barbecue, but we're going to need some extra tables and chairs and the like, so if anyone has any suggestions, any spare, or is handy with power tools so we could knock some seatage up. We're also going to need practical eating stuff - plates and cups for those of you who aren't simply pulling the flesh off a hogs leg and drinking beer straight from a keg, but I'll deal with that at a later date.
**Entertainments **
Music - I'll sort out a different thread for djs, I know pajamas was wanting to play some tunes (judging by the other thread, it'll be "Crash" by the primitives, on repeat). I've got a pair of record decks, but at the moment we need
An Amp (although I've got a power amp booster thing)
Speakers (i've a couple of 100w jobbies, but we could do with a little more)
Mixer
Extension cables
Transport to get them from wherever they are to SE17
Bit of outdoor lighting
Having seen Mister K's thread about his 3 wheeled pedicab thing, we could attempt to make the music bike powered - does anyone remember the names of the people who ran the bike powered club night a couple of months back, and do you think that's feasible? From reading the posts, it seems that most of the bikes died from over use.
So if you can **donate some time **to clearing up the site - let me know - many hands make light work and all that. Once I know the number of people, I'll try and contact you via PMs to arrange a date.
There's a pub over the road too, which is a little bit like the Slaughtered Lamb, but it'll keep us refreshed. Despite being hungover and in desperate need of sleep, I'm still grinning with excitement over this!
