We seem to have hit a snag here, theres no point in bringing tea etc if we havent got a way of heating the water.

What do we want to do people ? Is it worth having another whip round to get a large kettle ? Does anyone know if any of the stalls usually sell hot drinks ? 

I'm pretty sure the food stalls were selling hot drinks, but at prices that would take a chunk out of anyone's shopping budget. They had all closed by 6pm last year too.

I'd be happy to chip in for a kettle.

Edit: First site I opened from a quick google for urns had a 10lt one for the right side of £60. I expect I could do better than that with a bit more searching.

There are plenty of urns on Amazon with Prime delivery. I'm happy to sort it out if people are OK to throw a few quid my way next weekend?

Sounds good to me Bren. I am happy to contribute.  Just dont forget to bring it !

Hang on, I've spare kettles, let me go check if they both work. Two would suffice?
The traditional one takes a while to boil but has decent capacity and the see through one is a fast boiler so will be best, I only got a new one as you can see limescale on base..


Its no problem for me to put  these in my car and bring. Both are cordless so are safer for members use.

I honestly don't think we need an urn as there was never a massive queue building up for tea brewing and coffee making so a pair of kettles would do? I'm an absolute tea belly and I was always able to make a brew up immediately (and 30+ occasions!)

  That's great Pepperty...& the two of them would do the job I'm sure 

[BrenD]

I'm happy to go with whatever the majority decide.

The urn idea would need someone to take care of it until next year, I have little or no use for one, VF aside, and I'm not sure where I'd store it. *-SARIN-* and I will probably be offski earlier than those about on Sunday would want their hot water to disappear too.

But I can leave it as late as Tuesday or Wednesday and still get one on time, so I thought I'd offer it as an option.

Ok Pepperty, we know you've got two kettles, but let's not get away from the most important item on the priority list. How much Vodka do you have for the trip ?

[Pepperty]

I've also got 3 folding camping chairs, but my great uncle (the incredible hoarder) has about 5 or more in his garage, so I can nip and collect them.
We have a fair few non campers who are in need of seats during days and evenings so too many is better than not enough

and vodka? it'll be a litre (each) I'm also dwelling on those wine in a box packs - last year I ran out of the hard stuff!

[BrenD]

I still don't know what I'm doing about alcohol, I need to make my mind up pretty quickly.

I know I won't be using the rest of those disposable flasks from last year, that didn't go well!

Ok, I'll let you into a wee secret....................................................................you're going to be drinking it............................................ hopefully.................................................................................if you don't forget it !

[tsoko]

I will be bringing my camera to take pictures of you rowdy lot.

[BrenD]

That's a bullet dodged, I'm looking a boxes of cider but Westons don't do Old Rosie in 10L boxes and I'm not silly enough to buy 20L of it.

12-13 pints of it over a couple of evenings, accounting for spillages and feeling generous enough to share some would've been perfect.

I can only get my other ciders of choice in bottles

[VapingBad]

1. gill2009 has 100 plastic cups
2. dagl AAE-C members and gusts notices
3. BrenD AAE-C Banner
4. VapingBad short 4 plug extension lead & electric coolbox for the milk for the marquee. And for the camp-site 3 camping chairs, a large clean floppy bucket to fill with cold water to cool warm cans of drink for every bodies use, a couple of gas stoves, Cobb oven, kettle etc, a few LED lights and large aluminium table. I'll try and remember to bring some cable ties for the banner, but if anyone else has some handy please bring as it is the sort of small detail I forget until I'm about 80 miles from home.
5. Pepperty 3-8 camping chairs, 2 electric kettles & 10 thick rubble/rubbish bags

Still need:
Tea, coffee & sugar (don't go over board there was loads left over last year)
Milk
Some things to carry water, eg empty 5 ltr mineral water bottles with the handles
Orange/lemon squash
teaspoons
PIF box
Kitchen roll

If you are car camping extra chairs are always welcome and maybe that sh1t golf umbrella you got on a whim from sportsdirect just in-case.

[Pepperty]

OK - a pack of 10 thick rubble bags now in my kettle box so tick that off
and in went my two 'slankets' (extra layer plus handy for camping chair/socialising if it gets nippy later on)

It is my intention to attend the Vape Fest on the Sat afternoon.
I have a fairly hefty petrol generator which I more than willing to donate to AAEC.
Would the AAEC committee be interested?

We will be having electricity hooked up so we are all ok.

Thank you for the kind offer though.

Hope to see you there.
