The end of season social is looming quickly in the horizon now and I just wanted to send out some details and also to suggest a way of ensuring that we can coordinate the food to make it easy on us all.
So I have now paid and sent a list of all the people coming to the River Dart Country Park and we have a final number of 36 which is great.
Weather depending it should be a great day and I am sure all the boys are looking forward to it.
The park opens at 10am and so we can arrive anytime, I will try and get their at 10am to find a suitable base for us all. I will bring a gazebo and a few chairs and tables etc but if everyone can bring anything that they think would be helpful, especially camping tables that would be ideal.
The main gate will have a list of all the people who are coming so all you should need to do is to give your name and they will let you in.
I am sure that most people will have been to the park either recently or, like me, as a young lad! It’s a great place where all the boys (and parents) can get wet and muddy and run wild in relatively safety.
Their website (www.riverdart.co.uk) has a load of information and also has a map, directions and other interesting stuff!
So to the most important thing…..lunch :-)
It seems that with 36 people coming we would be wise to coordinate the food to try and avoid having huge amounts of any one thing so if people are happy I propose that we all bring a few different things, lay it out and then go for it.
The general consensus seems to be a that a cold food buffet would be the simplest and best way of doing lunch.
So I have drawn up a long list of (all my favourite!!!) food and have broken it down depending on your surname. I do hope that’s okay, any problems PLEASE let me know.

This does feel a bit of a crude method of dividing this all up and I am sat here cringing as I type but I do hope that this will work out okay.
No pressure for anything to be homemade However if you have a family favourite that you would like to do in addition to this list then please feel free, I am sure nothing will go to waste!!
Any last minute problems then please get in touch, if I could do a collection on the day that would be great, it is £5 per person.
Fingers crossed for the weather and that we will have a great day, looking back at a great season and looking forward to the 2014/15 season!!
Many thanks
Mark
