The South London EMF Breakfast Club! In a box

6 Likes

@emf @sarahbarber I’ve updated the Wiki at the top to reflect a few things

If everyone has a look to see what’s forgotten…remember to bring a mug, bowl, and spoon! Although I’ve bought a few, and we have disposalbles too, just in case

Already had a Twitter comment of someone bringing some goodies to add to the feast – so the breakfast club could be fun…

You all rock.

Check out what I’ve promised EMF…

Looks like @KylieJudd @sarahbarber are arriving on Thursday…

Makes sense for early birds to stake a claim on our village, even if you don’t lay the whole thing out

We’ll need tent pitches for most of the members of @emf except @tala703 and @emuboy (?), Plus a few extras for @sarahbarber, Lucas, Em Sullivan…and anyone else who wants to join our merry camp

@andreas_varotsis you’re coming?

I will be there from Wednesday afternoon. Not sure what I can bring tho that would steak out an area.

Looks like our village is next to holistic howlers so I wouldn’t recommend stake out the village with steaks…

Also I hope howling follows a reasonable hours policy :slight_smile:

That’s just a map…we can have our village anywhere…our experience was that people completely ignored the map I the past…not sure of the etiquette though

I have a load of small red flags…

I have a ticket now.
Ill be camping in the quiet or accessible area but Im driving down in my long wheelbase land rover so can bring extra kit from home(Trowbridge). Sorry cant pick anything up from the arch on the way.
Ill be there before midday on Friday.

Let me know if any of this would be useful and ill bring it along on top of my own camping/activity gear.

Large folding table. 6ft long heavy duty. ********Requested by KylieJudd
Small folding camp dining table and 4 folding chairs.
Camp fridge, Gas powered approx 30 litres. Including gas.
Camp stove, 2 burner including gas.
Camp cooker kitchen stand/cupboard.
Are we short of any other camping kit?

Soldering station, hot air rework, electronics stuff, tools, scope.
Assortment of arduino, esp8266, raspi and other components. Passives, led displays and sensors.
Is there anything like this we need?
Couple of extra solar panels for the village installation, 1 small car top up type, 1 larger I think 20w. Will want them back. so cant be cut up.

Is it worth bringing along a 3d printer with UPS ? *********possibly requested KylieJudd
Maybe cad up a badge case, release the design and print it?

At the extreme end. If theres a call for, it I can bring along a woodturning lathe, chucks, accessories, tools and some wood. This is a full size hobby lathe with rotating head. Im learning to use it myself.
I dont have a perspex shield to protect spectators but can bring it along, for any of our lot to play with and approved others, in a suitable location. I have a gazebo we can put over it and rig up side walls.

Although not 3d printer and lathe together. One or the other.

Sounds brilliant! I believe @frasco is bringing a trolley?

Plus space for

  • breakfast club/communal area
  • Solar sculpture - prominent site, with long sightlines?
  • workshop space for working on sculpture?

I wont bring any of that lot unless theres a call for it.
So just let me know whats needed before Thursday evening when i load up.

maybe the folding table this way we can have a food/drink table that seperate to the work tables.
We have a large hot water urm I think @Dermot is bringing it.
We aren’t offering hot breakfast except porridge which we can use the urn plus a small stove.
@emuboy is bringing a fridge in his camper. Unless we want extra beer storage :slight_smile:

I love this idea.

Re: hot breakfast. I’m bringing an electric hob…so if anyone decided to get on the pancakes (for example), we’d just need a pan and spatula…plus the ingredients…

We also have a hob in the camper (not that I’m 100% committing to making people pancakes :yum:) it could be good if the village were near our campervan, or vice versa!

I’m of course coming :slight_smile: taking the train so carrying capacity is restricted, but happy to bring whatever I can carry that’s needed!

Amongst our camping gear is a full cook set. Pots pans, frying, spatulas. etc.
Most of it fits in one crate. Was originally put together for a family of four but it will go further.
Not so many plates and cutlery. But usually people can bring a plate, bowl, drinking vessel, Knife, fork, spoon, teas spoon and mug.

Ive also still got the small folding aluminium tables I used to bring along when we had open evenings in the empty arch before we had a floor. They take no space so ill throw those in the landy anyway.

We are long term comfort campers and my wife was a cub leader.
So weve grown quite a collection.
