Event 13 Unlucky for some - oooohhh its excitingWell the event is little more than a week away and I still haven`t built the Rancor costume (DOH).
Directions etc to the site are below.
Players - please don`t turn up at the site before 2pm on Friday as I`ll be setting stuff up.
Crew - you`re welcome any time on Friday - hopefully you can help set stuff up.
I`m looking forward to it (honest) and lets hope the weather is good.
See you all soon
Address –
Candleston castle campsite, Merthyr Mawr Rd, Bridgend. CF32OLS
Follow this link to get directions from your house directly to the site
http://www.live-roleplaying.co.uk/larp/map.asp
The Candleston site is in south Wales.
It is 1.5 miles from bridgend.
Take the M4 to junction 35.
Turn left off of the slip road and go straight passing all of the superstores.
When you pass KFC on your left the next landmark is a roundabout. At the roundabout turn left, then after passing a tearoom and pottery and the Pine shop on your left take the next right.
It will be signposted Merthyr Mawr.
Turn first left into Merthyr Mawr Rd and Candleston is at the very end of this road.
The road ends in a car park and our site is through the left hand gate of the two. If you arrive after dark; look for lights through the trees.
Please note this is a camping site so you will need tents and camping gear etc. Unless we are providing your food you will need camping stoves and equipment. We do have yurts for hire on site; contact Mark Roberts for more details.
The site itself has good toilets and showers.
Here is the link for the map. Candleston campsite is the red circle on the map.

Does anyone know where I can get a pig - a dead one without all the bits cut out. My usual supplier has failed to deliver.

Ah does that mean you want a pig with all the guts and stuff? Or just a whole pig with (ie) feet and head and stuff?

Its the guts and stuff for some missions- the rest of the carcass is for snacking on only.

We did this to some poor unfortunate army cadets some years ago. The little mites found the Staff Sgt lying in a ditch with guts coming out of his shirt and promptly threw up all over him. Class!

Squee level rising, put kit on last night, to see how it all works out.
I noticed that it was
a) bulky
b) hot
The weather this weekend is going to be warm and sunny I am thinking barbecused meaty goodness.

They should be out tomorrow Nigel - due to someone sending me a downtime which required me to read through four different wikipedia entries and have a degree in something other than computer sciences - I had to engage the services of a biochemist in writing some downtimes - hence the delay.

It depends on how much space and where the Yurts have gone up.
I`m sure we can find some space

Corn syrup (at a push maple syrup) Ribena and jelly make a reasonable subsitute ... (did that at a DH event for someone who had to delve into a corpse)

eewwww!
Id rather not dissect any jelly this weekend thanks. its cruel to the jelly.
|
RHys Llewellyn
|
Correct it is cruel to the jelly.
Jelly should only be used in conjuction with paddling pools and cream.

Are you saying that this event, you wish Verity wrestling in Jelly... ? I'm not sure we have that on the mission list - but will head back to the typewriter if you want.
|
RHys Llewellyn

Nah, thanks, ive already been to an event having Fay, Elf, Famor and a Warlord wrestling in Jelly and Cream.
After the offical warning we were told "NO, Family Event" and not to do it again on top of one person claiming we "Ruined his roleplay experience"
First Rule of Jellyclub...........(well you know)
Second Rule of Jellyclub be the bowl not the spoon.

I think a poll would be good - if everyone went to a planet where there were disputes and gladatorial contests of skill with people wrestling in jelly and cream - apart from it being an obvious planet "Gladstone" would love - would people feel it ruined their roleplay experience if it was written with a logical reason.
Tesco.com shopping list
90l of Jelly - £100
Whipped Cream - £1.99
Disposable Camera - Priceless

I recommend Sainsbury Basic Strawberry Jelly. 7 pence to make 0.5 litres
So £14 for the Jelly and I`m sure I have a paddling pool somewhere. So this is doable - but better say so now before I pack everything.

speaking as someone who has attempted to make a large amount of jelly at Candleston .. it aint easy to get it to set
|

|
& it's going to be hot!
|
Jess Parker
|
So should we substitute jelly with ice cream?
|

So nice to see this much effort being put into my dessert...

*Looks at large array of medical kit*
Field Medic stuff only? Arse. Does that mean there is no room for the rocky road I was going to make for the sick bay?
