Do you want to make cider in 2005 ?

If anyone needs to phone Emma at the farm, the phone number there is 7231-1010. Messages have already been left to invite her to the meeting.

My apologies for not being able to attend. I'm still available for any cider making duties so count me in. Jenny too. I'm pretty flexible workwise so I'll be happy to hire and drive van, harvest/collect apples and return presses etc.

I can't come tonight, I turned my ankle this morning (just spent a couple of hours in casualty) and can't walk. However, I'm still up for some cidermaking and can probably find time to help fetch apples.

I'm not feeling too well today, but hope to come for an hour or two. DOnt wait for me though.

I just phoned Emma, she's not sure whether or not she can come tonight, but says that both weekends suggested by Ivanhoe are OK for the farm, ie. 5/6 Nov and 12/13 Nov.

spoke too soon then, because it looks like there'll be hardly anyone there...

I'll bring my pen and minute taking notebook anyway just in case.

I'll be there, by about 8:15 I reckon.

oh dear I was about to add my names to the can't make it afterall, have just got back from a long day in the studio with another long day ahead tomorrow so I am absolutely shattered, and still have and hour or so work to do at the computer. I will come along if I get a second wind.

Well, at least I didn't have far to walk home when I discovered no-one was there.

Sorry we missed you Jane - we were at the back bar (or at least people were there when I arrived about 20 past).

JonR and his trusty pen and minute taking book will no doubt be along with an update later...

note to self, must practise my cider group recognition skills......

I can offer general prepping / cleaning help as required, and as I've said before I don't want any home brew but am happy to muck in and help others with the dark art of pressing etc.
