Summer bash 2024 3rd and 4th August

[Waddy]

Have you tried Asda? Quite a few of their stores seem to have it. Morrison's too, I think.

That's the problem, we only have a small Tesco supermarket and a Lidl, plus there's a Nisa and a Spar mini marts, but for a proper sized other retailer it's a drive to the next town job.

The 45 is back together but yet to test it.

Morrisons do offer stuff via Amazon, could try that otherwise sometimes you get lucky getting small Offies to get stuff for you, with Tiki mixing its a must as your average Supermarket sold spirits are blends from different places and some drinks need a particular regions flavour profile to taste right.

Why don't we all bring a couple bottles of our favourite tipple ( 10% brew not allowed) then we can all try a sip.

[Segata]

I can't as I'm not going to be there due to health issues but happy to help something worth trying be posted over to me, Birthdays on the 1st so having a bit in would be no bad thing.

A couple of bottles is all I bring !! Happy to share though.

Thinking about it that Amazon thing could work for the bash, saves carry weight as you can have the Van pull up and drop the booze there, including the stuff people want to try.

Gotcha.

Do let us know how the 45 testing goes.

BOING!

Good idea in theory, Neil.

However, I've often found that with some of them you don't really fully start to appreciate until you've had a fair few gulps, so that might not work for all.

As I'll be driving home on the Saturday I'd also better not be partaking in any drinking, but happy to bring something for people to try if required.

[TonyL]

P.S......Just remembered that I've not sent the payment for Craig and myself yet. Sorry; I'm a muppet!

Will address this and Analogue Tone will get that cheque in the post.

A couple of bottles of BRANDY, though, Pauly?

Is your brother still visiting, Pauly, meaning you can't join us for this one?

[Waddy]

Gotcha.

First three shots though a chrono, and it's doing just under 4 ft/lbs, I think that will go up in time / with use.

Feels way smoother, with that power I doubt it's going to be able to blat bean cans at 45 yards like the 2240 can, but hoping it'll be good at murdering mints at closer ranges.

You’ve got it Tone

Yes he is mate. He arrives on the 2nd and will be staying for the month. It’s a killer missing another Bash given I missed out on all of them last year (bar a day visit) but I love spending time with my little Bruv so looking forward to that.
